It's too early to think about snow, right?!
Well, here's a snow map anyway. It shows the chances of above-average snowfall considering the last four super El Niño winters.
Blue areas indicate higher chances of more snow, while brown areas indicate lower chances.
@javy97 Creo que en Londres no tienes que registrarte en su web para disfrutar de los límites diarios, semanales o mensuales. Otra cosa es que lo hagas para revisar los viajes y cobros. Aquí ya han creado una web para lo mismo https://t.co/BFE66FgMnS
The World Cup is now underway in North America!
Want to know where the games are played, and whether it will be clear or cloudy for each match?
Our imagery viewer tool, CIRA Slider, has added new location overlays for the stadiums!

The strangest oil trade of 2026 isn't happening at sea.
It's 700 tanker trucks a day crossing the Iraq–Syria desert.
The biggest winner is a government that barely produces oil at all.
Hormuz shut → Iraq lost 90% of export revenue.
Baghdad will take ANY outlet.
So 2 land corridors opened: al-Waleed in Anbar (31 March) and Rabia/Yarubiyah (20 April) the latter sealed since 2013.
Destination: Baniyas, Syria's Mediterranean port. Then by sea to Europe.
The numbers are medieval and massive at once:
500–700 trucks/day, 30 tonnes each.
Baniyas unloading capacity up 30%, 120k bpd flowing. Baseline 150k bpd, target 350k.
Moving just 50k bpd of crude takes 1,000 trucks running nonstop, this is a pipeline made of wheels.
💰The economics
Here's the desperation premium: SOMO is paying $20–22 per barrel to move fuel oil by land.
By sea it costs cents.
Iraq signed for 650k tonnes/month anyway because the alternative isn't a cheaper route.... It's zero.
Damascus collects on every barrel: transit fees, storage, port charges, plus cheap Iraqi fuel.
At $2–3/bbl that's $8–13M/month, rising to $21–30M at full flow.
For al-Sharaa's empty treasury, possibly his most reliable hard-currency stream.
The worse Iraq's crisis gets, the more Syria earns.
The structural irony is that Iran shut Hormuz to punish its enemies.
Result, Iraqi oil money now flows to a Damascus government Tehran calls an adversary while Iraq, Iran's closest Arab partner, sits on life support.

Tropical Storm Boris brings heavy rainfall to southern Mexico, while newly-formed Tropical Depression Three-E hangs close to the coast of Nicaragua.
Boris is forecast to make landfall in Guerrero, Mexico later today.
🔵 There's no question that the North Atlantic cold blob, linked to AMOC, has become more persistent in recent decades 🔵
The current cold blob has remained for about a year, coinciding with a negative AMO, which is associated with less northward heat transport in the Atlantic.
Tropical Storm Boris made landfall on the coast of southern Mexico last night.
Boris is dissipating as it remains over land, while still presenting a heavy rainfall and flooding threat for the region.
Here we observe the seismic waves racing out across North America from the recent very anomalous M6.1 reverse thrust earthquake that struck just off the west coast of Cuba. Weak shaking/jolts were felt across Cuba, Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and most of Florida.
