Heat Advisory for South Florida

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:07:27 GMT

More of an onshore wind flow returns today across South Florida, so a typical Summer pattern kicks in this time around. Therefore, look for a few (isolated) passing showers on the breeze in the morning and afternoon storms favoring inland areas. The storms that form will still be close to metro locations especially mid-day and then drift well inland into Southwest Florida. Models insist on pockets of drier air settling in at times and it could knock down our rain chances, but we won’t be totally dry. By Wednesday, Saharan dust gets closer and models showing that it won’t be much of a factor in limiting storms developing during the day/evening hours. The overall pattern will seem somewhat drier this week with more sunshine due to high pressure in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. This will make for hot days as highs soar in the mid 90’s all week long hovering near records. Over the weekend, we could get the Northern extent of a tropical wave reaching the Florida Key...

Commission VP spars with outgoing top economist over industrial policy

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:07:27 GMT

In his first interview since stepping down as the European Union’s chief competition economist, Pierre Régibeau told Belgian newspaper L’Echo that fear of European deindustrialization was unjustified. If European heavy industry disappears, “so be it, because it has to. What’s the point of producing basic steel here if we can buy it three times cheaper in Indonesia?” Régibeau said, answering a question about the major concerns of steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal. However, European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas isn’t buying it.Schinas firmly rejected the idea: “Such views may make for good August headlines, but under no circumstances represent ⁦the EU Commission policy,” he wrote in an X (formerly known as Twitter) post Monday. “It took a pandemic and now a war to realise that Europe needs a solid industrial capacity and strategic autonomy,” he wrote. Régibeau labeled some businesses’ complaints “pu...
