Paris CNN —A large French alpine ski resort faced with declining snowfalls is to close after it failed to find funds to turn its pistes into year-round attractions. ‘No prospect’Council President Coraline Saurat said that some 2.8 million euros [$3.07 million] have been invested into transforming the area into a year-round resort since 2017. She said that with winter snow increasingly unreliable, completing the final years of the project was too much of a risk. “The impact of committing to two more years was considerable with no prospect for the future,” she said, speaking to France Bleu on Saturday. On Sunday, the Grand Puy station in France’s Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region was also permanently closed after a public referendum.

Paris CNN —Belgium has withdrawn from the mixed relay triathlon race on Monday and Switzerland has had to mix up its roster after athletes from both countries fell ill following the initial triathlon races last week. The statement did not specify Michel’s illness, which was reported days after she swam in the River Seine during the women’s triathlon on Wednesday. “Claire Michel, a member of the relay, is unfortunately ill and must withdraw from the competition.”Michel finished 38th in the women’s triathlon competition on Wednesday. Swiss Olympic Chief Medical Officer Hanspeter Betschart noted that it is unclear if Briffod’s infection is related to the Seine’s water quality. The athletes had largely put their trust in organizers to ensure that the water quality was safe for them.

Paris CNN —The triathlon competitions are up and running in Paris on Wednesday after concerns over water quality in the River Seine caused the men’s race to be postponed a day earlier. More rain came into Paris overnight but World Triathlon and Paris 2024 determined the water quality was sufficient to move ahead for both the women’s and men’s races. Rains impacting water qualityHeavy rains battered Paris over the weekend, drenching Friday’s opening ceremony and raising concerns about water quality in the river, which usually declines after rainfall. But the water quality can change fast. That’s double the level needed for “good” water quality, as per World Triathlon standards.

Fluidion’s testing has found that, on average, E. Coli levels in the Siene between early April and late May were just under 3400 MPN/100mL. The highest E. Coli levels recorded by Fluidion were 23590 MPN/100mL on May 2 and 13090 MPN/100mL on May 30, according to Angelescu. But if poor water quality persisted, the triathlon would have to be downgraded to a duathlon with no swimming, the organization confirmed. Angelescu said that “significant infrastructure projects” by the city of Paris designed to improve water quality will have a “substantial” impact. Triathlon athletes swim in the Seine river during the men's 2023 World Triathlon Olympic Games test event in Paris on August 18, 2023.

In the midst of an exceptionally warm winter, resorts like Campo Felice have a major problem: there’s no snow. And a long-running drought means there isn’t enough water to make the amount of artificial snow needed to paint its slopes white. And with a lack of rain and record-breaking heatwaves, the lakes that normally provide water for artificial snow have run dry. Across all of Italy’s ski resorts, nearly 90% use artificial snow to some degree, according to Carlo Carmagnola, a snow expert with Météo France who studies the impact of climate change on ski resorts. These changes have been hard not just on the Lallini brothers, but their employees, which usually number 250 in the ski season.

CNN —The burned bodies of 18 people were found as wildfires ripped through Greece on Tuesday and countries across Europe sweltered under yet another extreme heat wave. As dozens of wildfires scorch Greece, other parts of the region are suffering under intense heat, as Europe’s summer of extremes continues. Red heat warningsAs parts of Greece and Spain burn, temperatures are reaching record levels in other parts of Europe. These regions are all experiencing very high temperatures, with some pushing above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Savona, in the northwest, saw an all-time record high of 39.1 degrees Celsius (102.4 Fahrenheit) on Monday.

The departments targeted by the alert, which allows local authorities to call off events and close public facilities if needed, are the Rhone, Drome, Ardeche and Haute-Loire, Meteo France said. Earlier on Monday, Meteo France had issued an orange alert for half of the country's territory, saying temperatures will reach between 35 and 38 C (95 to 100 F) in most of the affected departments. Temperatures are expected to rise to between 40 and 42 Celsius (104 and 108 F) on Tuesday afternoon in the southern departments of Ardeche, Drome, Vaucluse and Gard, Meteo France said. Some technical issues at the reactor also played a role in delaying the restart to Aug. 25, an EDF spokesperson told Reuters.

CNN —Over 12,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in Tenerife after wildfires tore through the Spanish Canary Island. Police data showed the the number of evacuations surged from the 4,500 reported on Friday. While worsening weather conditions that would “complicate firefighting operations” had initially been expected overnight Sunday, the night had been “quiet, with more favorable weather conditions than expected,” local government said. Improved conditions had seen a return of a “certain normality” in firefighting operations, Tenerife firefighters said on X , formerly known as Twitter. Tenerife firefighters called the emergency operations their “largest deployment in history.” They are being assisted by mainland emergency services and the Spanish military.

He also received other negative feedback via private messages and social media, which has become a common experience for weather and climate communicators. The decision was not easy, Gloninger told the Washington Post, but in a tweet announcing his exit, he cited a “death threat stemming from my climate coverage” which he said resulted in post-traumatic stress. A statement from KCCI about his departure said Gloninger plans to go into climate consulting: “Gloninger is leaving television to focus on caring for his family and his own mental health. Climate communicators, journalists, meteorologists and national weather services, including those in the US, Spain and Australia, have reported an increase in harassment, threats and abuse for connecting extreme weather events to climate change. “Science is science.

MAPUTO, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Mozambicans took shelter on Friday as tropical storm Freddy made landfall in a small coastal town, with heavy rain expected to batter the country's southern provinces for several days. Pictures posted by Matos on Facebook showed children and adults sitting on the floor in a crowded primary school classroom. Up to 1.75 million people could be affected by the storm and severe flooding, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement. Mozambique has already been battling severe flooding in recent days, and the government has declared a state of "red alert" to expedite operations to tackle Freddy. In Zimbabwe, which is expected to see heavy rain from Freddy, the education ministry has suspended school in six provinces.
"It always rains a lot here, it's very cold and it's January and it feels like summer," said Bilbao resident Eusebio Folgeira, 81. French tourist Joana Host said: "It's like nice weather for biking but we know it's like the planet is burning. Scientists have not yet analysed the specific ways in which climate change affected the recent high temperatures, but January's warm weather spell fits into the longer-term trend of rising temperatures due to human-caused climate change. "The record-breaking heat across Europe over the new year was made more likely to happen by human-caused climate change, just as climate change is now making every heatwave more likely and hotter," said Dr Friederike Otto, climate scientist at Imperial College London. French national weather agency Meteo France attributed the anomalous temperatures to a mass of warm air moving to Europe from subtropical zones.
NICE, France, Oct 27 (Reuters) - France and Spain experienced unusually warm temperatures on Thursday, bringing some bathers out to beaches but also adding to mounting concerns about changing weather patterns in Europe.

Acest studiu ''oferă o imagine de ansamblu asupra tendinţelor climatice asociate stratului de zăpadă'', a explicat Samuel Morin, cosemnatar şi director al Centrului Naţional de Cercetări Meteorologice (Météo France/CNRS). Reducerea observată a stratului de zăpadă în munţi este o ''tendinţă de fond, care confirmă studiile anterioare'', efectuate la nivel local sau naţional. ''Dispunem cu adevărat de o analiză globală a stratului de zăpadă la scara Alpilor în ansamblu'', a rezumat cercetătorul. Constatările lor sunt clare: stratul de zăpadă s-a redus în Alpi. Pe întreg parcursul sezonului, adâncimea medie a stratului de zăpadă de la atitudini cuprinse între 1.000 şi 2.000 de metri în nordul Alpilor s-a redus cu 2,8 centimetri pe an.

"Cu o temperatură medie anuală la nivel naţional aproape de 14 grade Celsius, adică o depăşire a valorii normale cu aproape +1,5 grade Celsius, anul 2020 este pe cale să ocupe primul loc printre cei mai călduroşi ani pe care i-a cunoscut Franţa în perioada 1900-2020", adică de când sunt realizate aceste măsurători, a indicat instituţia publică într-un comunicat.Cu excepţia situaţiei în care va avea loc un un episod excepţional de răcire până la sfârşitul anului, 2020 ar urma, aşadar, să ocupe primul loc pe podium, urmat de 2018 (13,9 grade Celsius în medie) şi 2014 (13,8 grade Celsius în medie).Dintre cei 120 de ani de la debutul înregistrării acestor medii naţionale, cei mai cei mai călduroşi ani au fost înregistraţi în ultimul deceniu, începând din 2011. "În cursul deceniului pe care tocmai l-am trăit, ne aflăm într-o dinamică deosebit de semnificativă, variabilitatea devenind foarte redusă", a explicat Jean-Michel Soubeyroux, director adjunct al departamentului de climatologie şi servicii climatice din cadrul Météo France.Încălzirea climatică are deja efecte perceptibile, dintre care unele pot fi atribuite direct acesteia, precum valul de căldură tardiv înregistrat în septembrie, după cum a precizat Soubeyroux.Alte efecte "fac parte din rezultatele aşteptate ale schimbărilor climatice", cum ar fi seceta severă care a impactat mare parte din nord-estul ţării sau anumite episoade meteorologice deosebit de intense, precum "episodul mediteranean", care a afectat o parte din departamentul Alpes-Maritimes în octombrie, sau creşterea în altitudine a limitei ploaie-zăpadă în masivele muntoase, notează AFP. "Totul este în concordanţă cu semnalele de încălzire, dintre care multe evenimente ne arată efectele", a adăugat specialistul Météo France.

Temperaturi de aproximativ 6 grade Celsius s-au înregistrat în această iarnă la Moscova, un record pentru luna decembrie. Cea mai călduros loc din Australia a fost înregistrat în oraşul Ceduna din sudul Australiei, unde temperatura a fost de 46,5 grade Celsius, potrivit Biroului de Meteorologie. Estul Australiei s-a confruntat cu incendii devastatoare în ultimele trei luni, potrivit oamenilor de ştiinţă, din cauza secetei prelungite şi a încălzirii globale. Printre ţările afectate s-au numărat şi Venezuela, cu 26.000 de incendii de vegetaţie, Bolivia, cu peste 17.000, Columbia şi Peru. În urma seismului, 51 de persoane au fost ucise, 10 persoane sunt în continuare date dispărute, 750 de oameni au fost răniţi, 100.
