ERA5 modelled solar energy ranking for Alaska in October 2025 showed record low amounts of solar energy across much of the interior portions of the state compared to all other Octobers since 1940. Statewide, it was the second lowest October average (2013). @alaskawx.bsky.social 🕶️

Seeing the destruction of the White House makes me emotional because Trump is so visibly flaunting the absence of constraints to his abuse of authority.
