The National Directorate of Meteorology of Timor-Leste warned about the poor air quality in Dili, caused by the smoke from forest fires in Indonesia, recommending the use of masks and the avoidance of outdoor activities. #Meteorologia #QualidadeDoAr #Incêndios (translated)
An international team of researchers, led by Spanish scientist Jorge Hernández-Bernal, has unraveled the mystery of the 'impossible cloud' of 1,800 kilometers on Mars, revealing a rare physical process that challenges the traditional rules of meteorology. #Marte #Ciencia #Nubes (translated)
Marco M.M. wrote that his profile, dedicated to meteorology, would continue to deal with the weather, but that he wanted to share a personal reflection after facing a significant health issue in the previous weeks. He recounted having lived through difficult days and new fears, an experience that, according to him, made him reevaluate everyday things and the importance of paying attention to the difficulties of others. He added that his private messages were open to anyone who needed to talk and that, while he did not have solutions for every problem, he was available to listen. He concluded by inviting people to take care of themselves and those close to them, specifying that in the next post he would return to discussing meteorology. #Vita #Ascolto #Gratitudine (translated)

According to the warning of the World Meteorological Organization, the El Niño phenomenon could cause record-high sea surface temperatures in the tropical region of the Pacific Ocean by December, increasing the risk of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and floods worldwide. #ElNino #időjárás #klímaváltozás (translated)
POPTime reported that the rain had gained strength in the Southeast, while the South faced storms with a risk of tornadoes. According to the publication, the Midwest recorded intense heat, the North had irregular rainfall, and the Northeast remained unchanged. https://t.co/FR5s5mjkiF #ClimaBrasil #Meteorologia #PrevisãoDoTempo (translated)

"Today, meteorology has an impact on energy prices that I would define as definitive: it has effectively become a kind of asset class," comments Marco Bernardi, President of the Tremagi Group. #Energia #Metereologia #IntelligenzaArtificiale (translated)
Thirteen districts of the Portuguese mainland are under yellow alert due to the forecast of thunderstorms, hail, and gusts of wind, according to the Portuguese Institute of Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA). #AvisoAmarelo #Trovoada #Meteorologia (translated)
Spain faces heavy rains and storms today in large parts of the country, with active warnings in nine communities, with Catalonia being the most affected according to the State Agency of Meteorology (Aemet). #Lluvias #AEMET #TiempoEspaña (translated)
Tomas Slafer criticized F1's communication with fans and said that the sport seemed not to have learned from Spa 2021. He stated that, after more than an hour of waiting and a formation lap that he described as chaotic, it had not been explained what was happening. In contrast, he mentioned a two-hour stoppage due to the weather in Tampa during an NFL game two weeks earlier, when, as he wrote, the public was informed of the situation and images were shown. Slafer said that F1 had only shown shots of the stands and the pit lane, and argued that the lack of explanations made the organization seem responsible for the problem. He added that fans could understand whatever the cause was, but they would not understand being kept in front of the television without information or explanations from F1, the FIA, the promoter, or any other responsible party. #F1 #comunicación #aficionados (translated)
Catalonia has issued a red alert to restrict mobility and suspend outdoor activities in 20 regions due to an "exceptional storm" that will include intense rains and severe storms. #Cataluña #ProtecciónCivil #Meteorología (translated)
Dr. JJ González Alemán pointed out that the AROME model, somewhat supported by other models, proposed a low-probability scenario that he did not recall having seen. According to what he wrote, the storms could generate a convective vortex directed towards the Catalan coast, with Barcelona in its path, producing very intense wind gusts and precipitation. He added that he did not observe significant forcing at height and that the uncertainty was very high because the models had difficulties representing these phenomena. He warned that the scenario could be dangerous and urged following official information in the following hours. #Tormentas #Meteorología #Barcelona (translated)
Heavy rains and storms will put about fifteen autonomous communities in Spain on alert, especially in the Valencian Community and Tarragona, where very high accumulations and torrential storms are expected this Saturday. #Meteorología #Tormentas #Lluvias (translated)
In 2026, Switzerland lost more than 5% of its glaciers due to an extreme summer marked by high temperatures, little snow, and the influence of dust from the Sahara, leading to unprecedented melting, especially in smaller glaciers that disappeared completely. #Glaciares #AquecimentoGlobal #Meteorologia (translated)
The summer of 2026 was the hottest ever recorded in Western Europe, with an average temperature of 21.7°C and heat stress records affecting 52% of the territory. #Meteorologia #Clima #Verão (translated)
Intense rains in the south of Tarragona have caused significant flooding, forcing the Generalitat to confine the regions of Baix Ebre and Montsià and to close roads and access to train R16, while rain alerts are issued and multiple incidents and power outages are recorded in the region. #Inundaciones #Tarragona #Meteorología (translated)
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. #Meteorología #Ciencia #Clima (translated)
