Calima en aumento en las próximas horas en la Península.
➡️ La calima reduce la visibilidad y deja los cielos turbios; también se relaciona con un empeoramiento de la calidad del aire.
➡️ Además, el martes y miércoles puede haber tormentas fuertes en el tercio norte peninsular.

🌫️ Image of the Week: smoke & haze over Thailand, Laos, Myanmar & neighbouring countries, captured by #Copernicus Sentinel-3 on 14 Apr.
Driven by a mix of agricultural burning & wildfires - exacerbated by warm, dry conditions - has caused air quality impacts across the region. Visit: bit.ly/4tgZ5g1
En los próximos días una masa de aire de origen subtropical llegará a España.
Lo notaremos por el polvo en suspensión que traerá consigo. Y además👉
➡️ Temperaturas muy por encima de lo normal.
➡️ Cierta inestabilidad: formación de tormentas, localmente fuertes y con granizo.

The ice is thick, snow is plentiful. We could see one of those old time breakups on the Yukon: sheets of ice twelve feet thick and a hundred feet long get jammed and hoisted into the air and toppled back into the river again. When ice goes over the bank it can shear the trees like cut grass 1/2
Spring is here! 🌱 The growing season has started Europe, as shown by the levels of CO2 decreasing due plants starting to absorb more carbon at the start of the season.
This is shown in ICOS Curve, a tool compiling concentrations of CO2 from 38 ICOS stations in Europe.

How confident should we be in a prediction of El Niño?
Seasonal forecasts show an emerging warm ENSO signal, but predictability remains low during the spring barrier.
