[NUEVO RÉCORD DE TEMPERATURAS OCEÁNICAS EN EL MUNDO] Los datos son claros: estamos viviendo un proceso de calentamiento global sin precedentes. Las gráficas muestran que 2026 mantiene temperaturas del aire y del océano muy por encima del promedio climatológico. La tendencia es de de un planeta que está muy caliente y unos océanos excepcionalmente cálidos. La temperatura promedio de la superficie del mar alcanzó un nuevo récord para esta época del año. Datos de los servicios europeos @CopernicusEU Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) y Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) muestran que, desde el 21 de junio, las temperaturas superficiales del océano han superado los récords registrados en 2023 y 2024.

Fuertes tronadas en Toro Negro bajan drásticamente las temperaturas en Cerro de Punta llegando a los 58°F actualmente.
Así esta actualmente en el bosque.
Michael Jordan brutally recalls the moment he finally got his revenge on Bryon Russell after Russell cockily claimed he could shut MJ down back in 1994.
"When I first met Bryon Russell... I was working out for baseball... Brian Russell came over to me and say 'You know what man why'd you quit... I could guard you'."
"I look over to Brian and see [if he remembers] the conversation you made in 1994 about when you... I wish I think I can guard you I can shut you down... were you about to get your chance."
"Believe me ever since that day he got his chance I don't know I'll succeed in these words but I think he had his chance and believe me I relished on that point."
Around the June solstice, London and Rio de Janeiro enjoy almost the same sunset time. That feels wrong at first. After all, the two cities sit more than 40 degrees of longitude apart. But the calendar fixes the puzzle. London is near its longest day of the year, while Rio is near its shortest. Geography is weird but the source of great trivia. Source: https://t.co/p69LD5Xzp0
🚨🌍 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes ⚠️😱
A 7.2-magnitude earthquake has been reported. Strong shaking from earthquakes of this size can cause significant damage, especially near the epicenter.
Have weather forecasts seemed less accurate lately? There's a major contributing factor: nearly half the morning weather balloons in the Lower 48 are "missing."
This is an ongoing crisis that is degrading critical severe weather forecasts that we all rely on. It's having real, tangible impacts on degrading forecast quality.
If you work in transportation, agriculture or commerce, this should matter to you.
Regardless of the causes, this negatively affects people of ALL political backgrounds. Weather affects everyone. And it's impacting ALL of us negatively.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
This is especially concerning for severe weather forecasts. We can't go 18 hours without ascertaining how the atmosphere is layered, how much storm fuel has built up and if severe thunderstorms are going to erupt. The Storm Prediction Center has even acknowledged forecasting frustrations in at least one public bulletin.
As an atmospheric scientist myself, I can say firsthand – the forecasts I'm able to offer you are less accurate than they would otherwise be. I'm not able to predict severe weather with the confidence I normally would. That is extremely concerning.
The United States is "supposed" to launch balloons at 0Z and 12Z ideally – a.k.a. around 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Eastern time. That's not happening. Many sites, due to staffing issues stemming from broader political and organizational issues, have pushed to 18Z, or early afternoon. That's not helpful for morning severe weather forecasts. In other words, you get less lead time. Less advanced notice. Quicker ramp-ups and ramp-downs to the forecast.
We're not able to get jet stream, temperature, moisture or wind profiles of the atmosphere each morning like we otherwise would.
Moreover, the World Meteorological Organization encourages 12Z soundings; that data is shared via the Global Observing System (GOS) under the World Weather Watch (WWW). That's not happening.
European weather agency meltdown?
Looks like ECMWF is having a "major power outage" that is affecting the data provision to the outside world.
Not good!

Los dos potentes terremotos que han devastado muchas regiones de Venezuela fueron causados por el choque de varias placas tectónicas: la Placa Sudamericana y la Placa del Caribe, las cuales se friccionan una contra la otra.
Es aterrador que entre cada terremoto solo hubo de 30 a 45 segundos de diferencia.
La magnitud varía un poco ya que el @USGS midió de 7.2 y 7.5, y el instituto de Potsdam midió un poco 7.3 y 7.4.
Es de esperar que haya réplicas, menos fuerte. De hecho, ocho horas después de los dos sismos, hubo un temblor de magnitud 4.6.
Según fluye la información, se va confirmando la magnitud de los daños, acorde con lo que se estima en escenarios similares.
Los parámetros del USGS proyectan para eventos fuertes de doble terremoto una probabilidad de 44 por ciento de que el total de muertes supere los 10,000, y un 30% de probabilidad de que hayan muerto más de 100,000 personas.
Hasta el jueves en la tarde, la cifra de muertos superaba las 200, pero las autoridades advierten que aumentará significativamente.

Drone footage reveals the widespread devastation left behind in La Guaira, Venezuela, where powerful back-to-back earthquakes reduced buildings to rubble.
The death toll has risen to more than 900 as search and rescue efforts continue.
Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano has entered its 50th eruptive episode, with massive lava fountaining currently underway in Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Kīlauea remains one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.
🚨TRAGIC: In a heartbreaking act of maternal heroism during the recent devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, the wife of Venezuelan footballer Héctor Bello sacrificed her life to save their one-year-old daughter.
Andrea Bello was pulled dead from the ruins of a collapsed building in La Guaira, but rescuers found their baby girl alive in her arms. The mother had used her own body as a human shield to protect her child from the falling debris.
Prayers for the Bello family, for the little girl’s healing, and for all those affected by this tragedy
Dueling Heatwaves ‼️ Europe vs the USA in a match no one wants! It’s #Europe ’s most severe #heatwave in history with Germany highs up to 109 this weekend VS the USA where next week will be sweltering with feels like temps up to 115°! All this heat is boosted by the developing strongest El Niño we’ve ever seen, steroids on top of the heating climate! #unitedstates
