Gigantic blaze in the #Etosha National Park and around in #Namibia as seen from above

Burnt area was estimated at nearly 1M hectares 2 days ago. That's more than all the fires in British Columbia this year 😳

Fortunately, it didn't grow much since then and appears to be contained

So we just had a lame spring in #Quebec and wanted to see how obvious this was in the data

So I made this calendar heatmap for #Montreal, showing :

🌡️ Max temperatures

☀️☁️ Hours of cloud cover

🌧️ Precipitations

In short, May was indeed dull

A lake just... completely drained in Northern #Quebec, in a matter of days. Lake Rouge, ~70km SW of Chapais.

Still a mystery, but it seems that a small natural dam has burst and all the water escaped.

#TidyTuesday

1000+ grants of scientific research from the NIH and NSF were terminated under the current Trump admin.

I compared their abstract against that list of 350+ banned words from federal sites and docs, with incendiary terms like "peanut allergies", "women" and "water quality".

#30DayChartChallenge Day 27 : Noise

Our #Sun 's level of activity since 1749, as indicated by its number of sunspots.

Most coronal mass ejections come from these "colder" areas over the Sun. CMEs provoke the biggest aurora shows when Earth is in their way.

Comparing levels of #depression of the migrant and non-migrant populations across 8 countries of the EU.

Of course, I wish there was more recent data, maybe soon. Past 2019, I'm not sure what we should expect 😐

A sequel to Day 4 : Everything that goes up... must go down. Also true for all the things we send to our lower orbit.

All human objects that reentered our atmosphere since 2000.

(not exactly log, but safe to say it will be one very soon 😬)

It got more expensive, +/- 30%, although it's been impressively steady since 2010 in most cities.

#30DayChartChallenge Day 12 : data.gov day

Border crossings from #Canada and #Mexico to the #USA.

In most cases, the biggest non-seasonal 2-month drop since 2020.

It's still early though, as data from March is still not available.

#30DayChartChallenge Day 11 : Stripes

Here in #Montreal, nights are officially considered "uncomfortable" when 20 °C (68 °F) or above (too warm)

I know, for most of you this night temp is trival, maybe even ridiculous.

Still, you can see how #climatechange might alter sleep.

#30DayChartChallenge Day 9 : Multi-modal(ish?)

Age demographics of QC

I used the generation categories as defined by Statistics Canada.

My takeaway here is that boomers are a larger cohort also because... well, the cohort has a larger year of birth range.
