Week starts quiet, high heat

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:49:17 GMT

Considering it’s September (2nd wettest month of the year for south Florida) it’s a relatively quiet weather pattern. If you encounter a rain shower, the activity will be minimal favoring inland areas during the afternoon. The reason? Limited showers may be triggered by the sea breeze boundary that pushes inland. For the time being, wind speeds remain light with just a steamy breeze arriving from the ocean. Meanwhile, Hurricane Lee is about 1000 miles away. The large and strong system will steer far away from Florida while also avoiding the Bahamas as it makes a northward turn (very soon). The main weather story, for us, revolves around “extra hot” temperatures. On Monday, Miami was just one-degree shy of a record high (peaking at 93-degrees Monday afternoon). More impressively, Marathon hit 96-degrees and actually tied the record for the date! On Tuesday and Wednesday, we could get close to records again. Also, humidity values will make it feel ...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:49:17 GMT

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Swedish government said Monday it wants to increase its defense budget by 28%, putting it on track to reach the military spending target 2% of gross domestic product set by the NATO alliance, which the Scandinavian country is preparing to join. “We are in the most serious security policy situation since the end of World War II, which requires Sweden to have a defense that is ready to protect Swedish territory,” defense minister Pål Jonson said.Unveiling a defense bill for 2024, Sweden’s center-right coalition government said military spending would increase by a total of 27 billion kronor ($2.4 billion).

In May last year, Sweden — and neighboring Finland — sought protection under NATO’s securi...
