The usual critiques are already starting, so it's worthwhile to put on the table how meteorological science works in an episode like this. The numerical models showed a clear scenario of irregular but high-impact storms. In this configuration, the key is not that it rains everywhere equally, but the danger where storms form and barely move: torrential intensities (>90 mm/1h) and critical accumulations (>180 mm/12h). We don't work with a crystal ball; we work with supercomputers that solve millions of mathematical equations to project the future atmosphere. Why is it so complex to specify the exact municipality? Unlike a winter storm with continuous and organized fronts, the physics of these storms is much more complex. They depend on how winds collide on a microscale, humidity, and relief over just a few kilometers. They do not follow a rigid pattern: they move and regenerate where that flow collision occurs, and modeling that to the millimeter is a huge challenge. Science always has room for improvement, of course. But before blaming meteorologists and @AEMET_Esp, it's worth remembering the rigor and constant vigilance behind issuing warnings that save lives.

During Argentina Week in Paris, I accompanied President @JMilei and the Secretary General of the Presidency @KarinaMileiOk in the announcement by @TotalEnergies to invest nearly USD 10,000 million to expand its gas and oil production in Argentina. The French company reported an investment of USD 1,500 million for the offshore electrified submarine wells project Alberdi in Tierra del Fuego. In Neuquén, investment in unconventional gas will continue to maintain and increase production. The company also announced that the oil project in San Roque could reach a production of up to 60,000 barrels per day and represent an investment of around USD 5,000 million. Furthermore, TotalEnergies will continue investing in renewable energy in Argentina, where it already has 300 MW of installed wind capacity. Company representatives highlighted that the reforms promoted by the National Government are generating positive momentum for investment and that TotalEnergies intends to be part of that process. 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 (translated)
Incredible that asking for respect for BTS's privacy and rejecting that the media set up or remain in the hotel is interpreted as insulting, scolding, or "throwing out" someone. As ARMY, we reject that the hotel becomes a waiting point for the media. BTS is staying there, not conducting a public activity. Where is the professionalism, @lafm and @vanedelatorre? What is the purpose of staying in the hotel beyond invading their privacy and disturbing the rest of those staying there? What kind of valuable information is generated by doing that kind of coverage? We call for respect and responsibility. Covering news does not eliminate the right to privacy. BTS deserves to rest and have peace during their stay, like anyone else. (translated)
