First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress Officials briefed the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on defense. One senator said he believes the cost is higher since the figure didn't include aspects like munitions replacement.

So Iran so far has cost every family in the US some $134. And that's before all the hikes from oil and gas is considered.

Just 0.2mm yesterday, nevertheless another 'rain day', the 15th of the month. Month total now 68.5mm (175% of average). Models suggesting another 12mm between now and month end which will bring the total over 200% of average. Among top 10% of wettest recorded Febs of last 230

Indeed but possibly easy to judge as a bystander? I would imagine when you're in a situation like that with highly-charged nerves in the room you often do stupid things you later regret. I've had plenty of foot in mouth situations over the years.

Pouring down again. The Februaries I remember as a youth were drier: the rolling 10-year average in 1989 was 26.2mm. It is now 48.8mm, an 86% increase!!
Note there is the odd exception ie 3.7mm in 2023

The magic 500m snow line This winter since the turn of the year has been remarkably snowy for locations above 500m. Which, in the UK, means few of us would have noticed. A pattern of predominant SE’ly winds feels lik…

Quite the gradient in mean temperature so far this year: -4C at the top of Cairngorm with, by my estimate, 0C at 518m.
