Better not wait for the August 12 peak

by

If the Perseids are the Rain of fleeting stars More popular in the northern hemisphere is for something. They appear in full summer, when the skies are clear, the nights are more pleasant and many are on vacation. But this year they have a problem. Luna almost full at the worst moment. In 2025, the Perseidas Activity Peak The night will take place from August 12 to 13. As every year, it is the moment in which we should see the most meteor. But this time, the Perseids will share the stage with an guest star that nobody wants on an astronomical observation night: a large and brilliant moon. According to the August lunar calendar, the full moon will come on day 9. This means that for the night of 12, our satellite It will be in the diminishing phase gibosa90%illuminated. Although we move away from the cities, the natural light pollution of the moon will complicate the visibility of the weakest meteors. Only the most spectacular and bright cars will stand out in heaven. When to see the Perseids. According to him National Geographic Institutethe moment with the greatest abundance of meteoros will occur on August 12 just after the sunset, around 22:00. The moon will appear on the horizon approximately an hour later, so we will have a very scarce margin to accustom the eyes to the dark and enjoy the hunt for perseiders. Our advice to have a more relaxed and lasting experience: not wait until then. The Perseids or tears of San Lorenzo They are active from July 17 to August 24, so this weekend we can see them burning in the night sky. And the growing moon will be hidden soon through the west, leaving a night with a perfect dark sky for observation. How to locate them in heaven. Whether you decide to get ahead and if you prefer to wait, the first thing is get away from the city’s lights: Go to a beach, the field or the mountain, especially if it is “in the shadow” of the moon. The less light pollutionmore stars and persistent you can see. The most popular meteor rain of the summer owes its name to the constellation of Perseus, but the most effective way to see them is not to look for the constellation on the map, but to stare at the darkest part of the sky (care with the neck, better to be lying) because they can appear anywhere, provided there are no clouds, and the greatest possible field of vision will be good for you. Your eyes need between 15 and 20 minutes to adapt to total darkness, so it is best to avoid using the mobile. Anyway, perseiders are so fast that it is difficult to take pictures. A time-lapse or video are safer options. For the same reason, it is not worth using telescopes or prismatic.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on August 2

by

Saturday. August 2, specifically. Moment to rest … especially if you are a car that is part of the restrictions of today does not circulate Sabatino. Because, indeed, today some cars will have to stay at home. What we are talking about is the program today does not circulate, that designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) that forces to leave some cars at home with the idea of improving the quality of the air we breathe. With him, polluting emissions should go down. The system is simple: some cars, especially the most pollutants, have to stay at home. For them there are restrictions but the same Saturdays do not always stay at home. And, where it applies, some cars have to rest. And where is it applied? Specifically in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Taking all this into account, who should stay at home? Daily, restrictions are simple to understand, you can clarify all the details in the superior image. But not every Saturday, for example, they have to stay home on Saturdays. And some of them can move with total freedom but others have more problems. Which is it? Specifically, those who have total freedom and other weeks cannot move. Because, indeed, there are restrictions that alternate week by week. Because, indeed, one day as the following conditions can be applied today. Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+ These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines. Clarified all this, should we take something more into account? Yes, as we told you, the Sabatino does not circulate today has the peculiarity that it does not always apply in the same way. Therefore, it does not always affect the cars themselves. First you have to look at the calendar (then we will see why it is important), then the hologram and, finally, the plate number. This is because Saturday is a special day in the program of today does not circulate Sabatino. It does not always affect the same cars in the same way. Those of Hologram 2, for example, cannot circulate any Saturday but those of Hologram 0 and 00 can do it every week. In that case, they have total freedom. And those of Hologram 1? Here is the crumb because a few weeks can move and others do not. In this case, the Saturday, August 2, 2025are obliged to rest those that the registration ends in odd number. This is because we are on the first Saturday of August and, therefore, it is these cars that must stay at home. Next week, the second week (PAR) will affect cars with a plate finished in torque. Of course, do not forget that there are some exceptions that allow some cars to move with total freedom. Are the following: However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

DGT recommendations to face the output operation on August 1

by

They say that the flow of travelers has changed over our country. The holidays are usually chosen for weeks and not for fortnights, as before. Therefore, it is Fridays and on Sundays the days that are usually registered on roads in summer. But this year we have a particularity. This Friday is August 1, the day that was traditionally used to go on vacation. One more reason for The DGT theme that the roads become hell this weekend. The usual summer traffic between Friday and Sunday must be added that it begins (or ends) the fortnight, so a huge flow of workers who go out to enjoy their vacations or begin to return to them is expected. These movements, the DGT estimates, will add some 6.88 million journeys Between yesterday, Thursday, July 31, and Sunday, August 3. During all this time the Operation of August 1 will be activated. A campaign that gives the starting gun to a month in which they are expected to count about 52.87 million displacements. These are the recommendations of the DGT. Better with full tank What can we expect from an operation holiday? Traffic. A lot of traffic. That is why the DGT already advances that the most complicated hours will be condensed in the August 1 (starting at 3:00 p.m.), throughout the morning of Saturday, August 2 and, of course, on the afternoon of August 3 (between 4:00 p.m. and 23:00 hours) when they are expected to meet both those who go out to spend the day and those who have lengthened the entire weekend and, of course, those who return on vacation. What remains in our hands? The DGT gives a series of Recommendations. The most basic is that we move outside these schedules, whenever possible. Thus we will reduce the risk of seeing ourselves wrapped in a jam. But, in addition, they ask for a certain forecast: Prepare the trip: check the car components well, such as the pressure of the tiresbrakes or lightsthinking that you will demand much more than usual. In addition, have an eye on the browser to avoid possible jams and be aware of the possible accidents or breakdowns of other vehicles. During the trip the DGT emphasizes a “circulate with the Full fuel tank. It will be of great help in case of being faced with any anomalous situation as retentions, accidents or unforeseen weather. “This recommendation is usually given in winter where the fuel tank It is key to keeping heating alive of the car but it is always a good idea because, in case it is complicated and the night is over, we can have problems to find an open gas station or face an alternative route if, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, A road has been cut by a fire. Food and drink: always carries water inside the car and avoids heavy meals since they can sleep. Of course, try to sleep as well as possible before and drive rested. And the DGT ends with a sentence: “Do not take the mobile and avoid any other distraction. Your only task is to drive“ Photo | Tsai Derek In Xataka | The problem is not that the air conditioning of the car breaks more in summer. The problem is that the rest of the year we do not look at it
