New record temperatures to expect as El Niño returns
The year 2023 or 2024 will probably be the warmest year on Earth since measurements began. This is stated by climate scientists at the EU's Copernicus earth observation program for Reuters.
The reason is that the weather phenomenon El Niño is expected to return within the next two years. El Nino recurs across the Pacific at intervals of between two and seven years, and normally leads to higher temperatures.
The warmest year globally was 2016, which coincided with El Niño.
The problems at Kebnekaise
Unusually early mild weather: "The jocks have risen"
The mild weather has struck unusually early for the season and the ice has gone in several of the waterways between Nikkaluokta and Kebnekaise mountain station, reports SVT Norrbotten.
- The jocks have gone up and the marshlands that are otherwise covered with snow or ice, there are large lakes today, And there are white geese on the small lakes, says Carl-Johan Ingeström who works at the mountain station.
Thus, guests at the Kebnekaise mountain station can only get home by helicopter, and at the moment strong winds put a stop to even such transport.

Ukraine: Mysterious glow likely a meteorite
The mysterious glow that lit up the night sky in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv last night was probably caused by a meteorite, according to the Ukrainian space agency, according to AFP.
- We can't exactly identify what it was, but we suspect it was a meteorite, says Igor Kornijenko who is head of the space agency.
Earlier today, the military came out and said that the glow was neither caused by a falling satellite nor a Russian robot attack.
