Tesla Holiday Software Update Adds Apple Watch, SiriusXM Apps, Usual Silliness

Posted by in categories: climatology, sustainability

Tesla’s annual holiday software update for its vehicles will begin rolling out next week with an official Apple Watch app, SiriusXM support, and more than a dozen other features.

The Apple Watch app is one of the highlights and will let owners perform some basic functions offline while in Bluetooth range, like locking and unlocking their car, adjusting the climate, and popping open the front trunk. Tesla’s iOS app leaked the Apple Watch news back in October, so while it is a welcome addition, it may be less of a surprise than some of the other features.

SpaceX launch overnight: Everything to know about the Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral

Posted by in categories: climatology, internet, space

The Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron pegs the odds of “go for launch” weather at 85%. Chief meteorological risks include thick cloud layers and liftoff winds, coupled with a low-to-moderate risk of upper-level wind shear.

Check back for live FLORIDA TODAY Space Team launch coverage updates on this page, starting about 90 minutes before the launch window opens. When SpaceX’s live webcast kicks off about five minutes before liftoff, look for it posted below the countdown clock.

More than 40% of coral species face extinction, according to new research

Posted by in categories: climatology, existential risks

Yikes o.o! What I believe is that we need to have cooling systems underwater to keep things cooler so coral and fish can survive. It could also mean even that fish food supplies could run out in the future from the ocean.


Following a global assessment, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has revealed that 44% of reef-building coral species globally are at risk of extinction. The announcement was made at the ongoing COP29 UN climate conference.

Dr. Michael Sweet, Professor of Molecular Ecology and Head of the Aquatic Research Facility at the University of Derby, is among a pool of experts who contributed to the global coral assessment, which has revealed the severe impacts of our rapidly changing climate.

An efficient small language model that could perform better on smartphones

Posted by in categories: climatology, mobile phones, robotics/AI

There are over 30,000 weather stations in the world, measuring temperature, precipitation and other indicators often on a daily basis. That’s a massive amount of data for climate researchers to compile and analyze to produce the monthly and annual global and regional temperatures (especially) that make the news.

Now researchers have unleashed artificial intelligence (AI) on these datasets to analyze in Europe, finding excellent agreement compared to existing results that used traditional methods, and as well have uncovered climate extremes not previously known. Their work has been published in Nature Communications.

With the world’s climate changing rapidly, it is important to know how temperature and precipitation extremes are changing, so planners can adapt to the extremes here now and to what’s coming.

When a bomb cyclone meets an atmospheric river, the result is like an out-of-control fire hose

Posted by in category: climatology

A powerful storm hitting the West Coast combines these weather phenomena for a wet week in many areas. But forecasting exactly which areas will get hit hardest is tough, as a meteorologist explains.

Over 600,000 people lost power at peak of Washington windstorm

Posted by in category: climatology

Puget Sound Energy warned that the magnitude of the storm and the damages could mean that some people will go without power for multiple days. They “encourage customers to make alternate plans as we work to assess the situation and restore power.” The company said the biggest impact is in King County.

Severe winds from this evening’s bomb cyclone ripped through western Washington, causing a mass outage event throughout most of our service area, with the biggest impact in King County. #WAwx (1÷7) pic.twitter.com/NMeoDSkexY — Puget Sound Energy (@PSETalk) November 20, 2024

PSE reported “extensive numbers” of downed power lines and reminded customers to never touch or go within 30 feet of a downed line, because they may still be energized. Field crews are also navigating downed trees, which is restricting their access to some areas.
