Another historic day with the November hottest day in history in Cape Town with 40.8C
and in Port Nolloth with 39.7C
Next night will be exceptionally warm with many more records.

Some footage from Bangladesh, post M5.5 earthquake. This is probably lateral spreading and slumping associated with earthquake-triggered liquefaction. Liquefaction is a huge hazard in Bangladesh, because so many people live in low-lying areas on saturated sediments.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Notice how adding water is bad.
Follow the instructions that come with your turkey fryer. Use your turkey fryer away from your home. Have a working fire extinguisher.

That was the immediate cause, but it was poor ship design and unauthorized modifications that meant that they could not restart the main engine after the power failure. Without the main engine, they couldn't steer. I enjoyed this video on it: youtu.be/znWl_TuUPp0

If you’re anxious about the aurora because “we didn’t use to have the Northern Lights this far south,” don’t be!
The sun’s just doing a normal solar cycle like usual. We just now have cameras in our pocket that can detect aurora, and social media to spread the word to get out looking!

When beavers build dams and reshape streams, they generate habitats for #bats and other species:

A new study from Switzerland showed at activity at beaver‐dammed stream sections was 2.3 times higher than at comparable stream sections without beaver influence.
