Daily Temperature Records Smashed

WASHINGTON, United States-World daily temperature records have been smashed this week, according to preliminary data.

The modeling tools that produced these estimates can provide an early warning of extreme heat events, even if they aren’t as precise as monthly and yearly reports produced by leading agencies, say experts.

The University of Maine has established an online tool called Climate Reanalyzer, which shows the curves of average global temperature for each day since 1979.

BULL-RUN FESTIVAL.

Participants run with bulls during the ‘encierro’ (bull-run) of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, northern Spain, on July 8, 2023.

Thousands of people every year attend the week-long festival and its famous ‘encierros’.

Six bulls are released at 8 a.m. every day to run from their corral to the bullring through the narrow streets of the old town over an 850 meters (yard) course while runners ahead of them try to stay close to the bulls without falling over or being gored. AFP
