In Madrid they sell an apartment for 20.9 million euros. The question is not whether it is the most expensive in history, but what that means

by

He has earned the unofficial title “most expensive apartment in Madrid” and, although it is difficult to confirm it because in the luxury sector there are operations that never reach transcendence, it certainly has the potential to be so. To start with its price. The apartment that Property Partners announces in Jerónimos, in the heart of the capital, it costs a whopping 20.9 million euros. Beyond that figure, the home’s size (1,008 m2), display of luxuries and extras is striking. For example, it has no decoration. It has “works of art.” Not a typical main room, but a “social area” that covers about 200 m2. In any other advertisement that vocabulary might sound like an exaggeration. Not here. The most expensive apartment in all of Madrid? So suggests it Property Partners, which claims to have in its portfolio what is “considered” the “most expensive property in Madrid.” The same unofficial title has been recognized in recent days several economic means, premises and generalistsincluding Tele Madrid that refers to the luxurious apartment as “the most expensive in the history” of the city. In reality, it is very difficult to confirm whether this is the case or not because discretion prevails in the luxury market. Many operations are closed with hardly any publicity, almost with their backs to the market. Others don’t. Last year, without going any further, John Taylor, a French real estate company specializing in luxury, brokered the sale of a home that was valued at 20 million. The property in question was located near Retiro Park and measured about 1,100 m2. The 20.9 million flat announced by Property has been announced for several months, although the agency assures that “there are offer processes” underway and interested people who have already made several visits. Click on the image to go to the tweet. What is the housing like? Enormous. And that’s an understatement. According to the token Published by the real estate agency itself, the apartment has a constructed area of ​​1,008 m2, although it identifies 812 m2 as “housing area”. Seven bedrooms (five en suite), six bathrooms and three toilets are distributed throughout this vast space, as well as amenities such as a gym, wine cellar and large living rooms. A reporter from EPE was able to visit the apartment and says that one of the first things that catches your attention is a 200 m2 room named “social area”. Do we know more? Yes. And it points in the same direction: that of exclusive luxury. The house, located in Los Jerónimos, has five parking spaces and two storage rooms, terraces with views of the Botanical Garden and furniture in line with the profile of its market. Tele Madrid assures Its renovation alone cost two million, to which is added another for the furniture. As a finishing touch, it incorporates works of art. That the apartment (the agency dates it back to the 70s) is so spacious in the heart of the center is explained by its past: in reality it is made up of three independent homes that a former owner bought and mergedoccupying an entire floor. Why is it interesting? Because beyond how striking the price or the characteristics of the apartment are, the advertisement connects with a larger trend: the increase in price of the home. That the price per square meter has been rising for years (in Madrid and the rest of Spain) is nothing new. Idealistic sample that in the last year the m2 has skyrocketed by 14.8% in the capital, reaching a maximum of almost €5,900/m2, although there are certain areas where this value is much higher. In Retiro there are more than 7,800 and in Salamanca they are close to 10,000. The announcement of the Los Jerónimos apartment reminds us, however, that the price increase is not exclusive to the conventional residential market. It also affects luxury. At the end of 2025 Diza Market published a report which shows that the cost of prime housing in the region rose by 95% in a matter of a decade, between 2014 and 2025. The analysis focused, however, on the luxury sector in which houses worth several million are moved, without reaching stratospheric figures. Are there more indicators? Yes. Savills has published another report in which it points out that the price of prime housing in the capital “triples the rate of global growth expected for 2026.” “If we focus the analysis on the first consolidated, the average prices in Madrid are around €16,000-17,000/m2, reaching peaks of between €25,000 and €30,000/m2”, details Santiago de Miguel, director. “The forecast is that the market will continue slightly bullish, but with sustained demand. The international buyer continues to have his sights set on Madrid.” “The Madrid market super luxury has reached a degree of maturity that allows operations of this caliber,” agrees an interview with Five Days Felipe Reuse, from Property Partner. Data from the Notarial Statistical Portal show In fact, the dynamism of the market in the heart of Madrid, with the m2 above 11,000 m2, and where foreign buyers have a relevant weight, representing a third of the total. There are those who already points out that the demand is going outside the city, towards La Moraleja or La Finca.

Ouigo already has permission to stand up to Renfe between Murcia and Alicante. And that only means one thing

by

There will be two trains between Alicante and Murcia, stopping in Elche, and another additional train for this last link from Elche and Murcia. It is the approval that the CNMC has given to the Ouigo service that will rival Renfe in the east of the country. A service that will be provided on the high-speed line and that, if everything happens as before, will have an immediate effect on prices. The line. The line between Alicante and Murcia is currently operated by Renfe with two services, one high-speed and another Cercanías. Now it will be Ouigo that also provides service on that last line, the one that Renfe operates with Avant trains, those high-speed ones for medium distances. has confirmed it the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) in a statement in which it gives the go-ahead for Ouigo to offer two daily trains in each direction to cover Alicante-Murcia, with an intermediate stop in Elche. In addition, there will be an additional train in both directions each day to cover the Elche-Murcia route. Does not affect. According to the CNMC, the new service proposed by Ouigo does not affect public services. They point out that the conventional network is guaranteed by Renfe, with a service with many more stops and slower. High speed, they say, is also assured because, they point out, Ouigo services “have much fewer frequencies and are more expensive.” Right now, if we take a look at the price of trains Within a few months, we can find Avant or AVLO high-speed trains between Alicante and Murcia between 10 and 15 euros. The AVE trip costs about 25 euros. The current offer is also supported by 10 Avant or AVLO services and two more AVE services in each direction from Monday to Friday. Ouigo’s proposal. Until now, Renfe has been offering this service with an average duration of about 55 minutes. The Ouigo proposal, which is already active, allows you to take the same route for nine euros but saving travelers 10 minutes, covering the section between Alicante and Murcia in 45 minutes. With the very low prices that Renfe currently offers on the line, Ouigo does not have much room for maneuver but hopes to attract passengers who travel without large suitcases (these options can raise the price up to 26 euros, equivalent to the price of the AVE). What is clear is that it is tough competition for the 15 euro Avant services which are only more attractive if you cannot travel at another time. The proposal between Murcia and Alicante It’s clear. The train leaves this first city at 06:35 in the morning and offers a return to Murcia at 21:27. From Alicante to Murcia, the train leaves in the morning at 10:57 and offers a service to Alicante at 19:53. That is, the day will be more useful for those who travel from Murcia to Alicante and return on the same day, since there is only one train available between both cities. With transport doubts. The approval from the CNMC comes after Transport has tried to stop the process or, at least, delay it as much as possible. And the Ministry asked the organization for an economic report on the impact on Renfe’s public services. That is why the CNMC highlights in its statement that they do not observe an impact on it. What is certain is that Renfe now faces new complications in a corridor that is on the rise. They point out in The Economist that the corridor between Madrid and Alicante registered its historical passenger record in the last quarter analyzed, adding 1.29 million travelers between July and September. Now, travel between Madrid and Murcia, after passing through Alicante, has more offers than ever. a trend. Although in this case the room for maneuver is much less, it is expected that the average prices between both cities will decrease slightly. With Ouigo offering trips for nine euros between Murcia and Alicante and, above all, saving 10 minutes of travel in a stretch of less than an hour, there are not many reasons to go for more expensive options. It is a maxim that has followed Ouigo in all the corridors where he has put up a fight against Renfe. For very little, where they compete Ouigo always has the cheapest ticket price and has managed to reduce them drastically in the first months of competition. Although with time It is something that is softening and tending towards stabilitythe first step is always to lower prices.

OpenAI has become the “Fast Food” of AI. And that means that for Sam Altman the business is attention, not AGI

by

It was sung that OpenAI was going to launch its browser, so the Yesterday launch of the Atlas browser It didn’t take us too much by surprise. What is important is the fact that the company does not stop constantly releasing products and services. The pace is the most extraordinary we have experienced in recent years, and the obvious question is, what is OpenAI pursuing with this strategy? OpenAI is the great machine churros AI products of the world. In recent weeks we have seen how OpenAI has not stopped launching new AI services and products that have managed to flood the market. Some examples: And that’s not counting the Recently announced agreements with NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom which make it clear that the pace of OpenAI announcements is absolutely dizzying: too many new things too often. Because? The hype race as a business priority. That extraordinary flurry of releases suggests that OpenAI’s big corporate priority is not so much the vaunted pursuit of AGI as it is dominating the conversation and, above all, the attention economy. What OpenAI wants is for us to be constantly talking about it, and the truth is that these launches are not exactly small: they all pose notable changes in its ecosystem and in the technology industry itself. Smokescreen. And such frenzy also acts as a strategic smokescreen. With this bombardment of releases (browser, applications, SDKs, improved models), Altman and his team not only generate more hype, but saturate the competitive space. Rivals barely have time to assimilate or replicate a feature when the next one has already been announced. Towards an operating system. The launch of Atlas is an especially significant move. With it it seems to be clear that OpenAI no longer wants to be a simple layer, the engine of AI, but a complete operating environment in the style of WeChat or the App Store. In fact wants to be the Windows of AIbut either it turns out well, or it is going to be the mother of all bubbles. Expectations attract new users (and investors). These constant movements also mean that these products also generate new expectations, even if only temporarily. OpenAI has managed to partly conquer the attention economy with launches such as Studio Ghibli style images or more recently with Sora. This has allowed it to attract millions more free users, which the company then tries to convert into paying users. Not only that: its growth also helps investors want to participate in the company’s multimillion-dollar investment rounds. And the AGI, what? And while all these launches are taking place, we see how the holy grail of AI, getting a general artificial intelligence (AGI), seems to take a backseat. It is as if that speech had become an empty mantra or a long-term goal that is not credible in the middle of this chaos. Altman has achieved replace philosophical conversation —the one that caused the hypothetical arrival of the AGI— due to a consumer conversation. The Fast Food of AI. The AI ​​ecosystem that OpenAI is creating has adopted a consumption pattern similar to that we experience on social networks: fast and ephemeral, based on the latest viral news. The Studio Ghibli-style visuals were exciting for a couple of weeks, and the same has happened with Sora 2, but that “wow” effect fades quickly. What is OpenAI doing to revive the hype again? Launch a new product. Atlas is the latest example. Seeking to be a de facto monopoly. With all these movements, OpenAI continues to attract more and more users and dominate the conversation and gain attention. That may not get you what you really need (income) at the moment, but it solidifies your absolute benchmark position and helps make it what you’re really looking for: the de facto monopoly of AI.

The European Union will impose a new CO2 tax in 2027. And that means one thing: more expensive gasoline

by

The European Union has a new tax to punish fuel consumption. And that implies, without any doubt, a increase in the price of gasoline and diesel that we use in our day to day. But also in which carriers need to work. And that has consequences. EMISSION RIGHTS. It is not really new, because it is part of a package of measures whose reform It was already approved in 2018. We talk about EU trade emission rights trade regimealso known as the ETS2 that will change in 2027 to impose a new tax on the consumption of fuels emitted CO2. This new tax applies to the fuel consumed in homes and, of course, to transport (both particular and merchandise) that until now had been left out. And that has a clear result: the price of gasoline will rise. How does it work? With the change that will arrive in 2027, it will be the fuel suppliers that have to buy emission rights for carbon dioxide of the products they sell. For each ton of CO2 generated by that fuel, a price will be paid to the European Union. The main problem is that we do not know what increase we face. EMISSION RIGHTS They will be bought by auction So the price fluctuates. At the moment, the most optimistic estimates indicate a price of about 48 euros per ton of CO2, according to The Energy Newspaperbut Bloomberg Nef Bet on a substantial increase in the coming years and aim at 122 euros per ton of CO2 in 2030. These increases can reach an increase in demand but also by speculation with their price, with companies buying emission rights to have them reserve when considering that they will be more expensive in the future. What can we expect? When we go to the gas station, a rise in the fuel price, of course. How much? That is the big doubt. Obviously, this new cost for the supplier should fall in cascade to the final consumer. The doubt is whether something of it will be absorbed along the way or, on the contrary, it will affect completely. According to the European Commission, the expected increase with those 48 euros/ton of CO2 is 0.11 euros/liter of gasoline and 0.13 euros/liter of diesel. That is, in a 50 -liter deposit we talk about an increase between five and six euros. Other sources point to a larger cost. As we have seen, everything will depend on how much the supplier costs the right of issuance and how much the client can affect without the competition. Distributor companies point to ABC that the price will be between 0.15 and 0.25 euros/liter. The hidden climb. But beyond the cost for The driver who fills his carthe new tax points to another problem: a general increase in the cost of life. In that same article of ABC, Transport associations point to wait for an increase of up to 45 cents/liter of CO2. It would be necessary to see if the increase reaches these levels but what is certain is that the cost of fuel It has a direct impact on inflation. Because if moving the product is a greater expense, the ultimate seller has to raise the price to continue maintaining the profits … In greater or lesser average depending on the product, what is certain is that both increases usually go hand in hand. Keep in mind that ETS2 also affects the price of gas, so it is an extra cost than adding to the equation. Worry. As is logical, the first accounts have already begun to look for solutions. From the Bank of Spain they point out that inflation can rebound in 2027 to 2.5% after a year 2026 more restrained. In Belgium they calculate That an average home will pay between 250 and 400 euros more a year. At the moment, the system will have a market stability reserve. The idea is that if the price shoots, the European Union can release emission bonds to control the price and cushion the increase. In addition, it has been designed has designed the Social Fund for Climate (SCF), a fund of at least 86.7 billion euros between 2026 and 2032 to surrender to the most vulnerable families and small businesses.

France has tried by all means that CAF does not take “the contract of the century” of the Belgian trains. There is good news

by

The contract continues. That is what the Belgian responsible for one of the country’s greatest tenders have said. The so -called “Century Contract” will therefore fall on CAF, the great Spanish rail giant. The Spanish company will be in charge of providing trains to the “Belgian Renfe”. Refused. The State Council of Belgium has spoken. And what has decided is that it rejects the last resort that Alstom had presented in the award contest to provide the CNS (the Belgian Renfe) of a huge battery of trains to modernize much of the fleet. In The mail They detail that the Belgian State Council had already rejected a resource for Siemens last week and now has been dismissed that of Alstom. The process has been especially long and complex with numerous resources presented, comings and goings and reconfirmations. “The contract of the century”. Given the enormous volume of money that will move this contract, it does not seem that the famous denomination of “the contract of the century” is left great. To start, the investment will be 1,695 million euros but if the deadlines and volume of deliveries are met, CAF could receive up to 3.4 billion euros. The amount will be paid for The supply of 500 trains Automotores including three car models with battery hybrid propulsion that will have the task of replacing the old diesel locomotives in those roads that have not yet been electrified. With the rejection of the latest resources, it only remains to negotiate the last details and sign the greatest contract in the history of CAF. Long and complex. Getting with this contract has not been simple for the Spanish company. At the beginning of the year, Alstom and Siemens resorted to the award of CAF to CAF, claiming that the motivations for it were not transparent enough. In April, a Belgian court recommended suspending the contest. During that time, Alstom took the opportunity to press by pointing out that his proposal was better because they have a plant on Belgian soil, emphasizing that the decision to take out this contract would harm the citizens themselves because they were not betting on local employment as a decisive factor. The process, however, continued. However, CAF has had to wait for the Belgian authorities to definitely reject the resource of Siemens and a second resource by emergency presented by Alstom, who insisted again on a supposed lack of transparency. Israel. During the last bars of all this bureaucratic framework, various voices rose to question the award of CAF. They defended that a company that was associated with the Israeli Shapir could not be hired to build and expand the red and green lines of the Light Jerusalem Rail. The project is problematic because it will be built on illegal Israeli settlements. That has caused the Basque company to have been indicated in an official UN report as one of the companies that take revenues from the country’s antipalestine policy. They specify that with this type of works these illegal settlements are helped. 500 million euros. That is what is estimated to take coffee If the Israeli project goes ahead. This is valued at 1.8 billion euros to lift 27 kilometers of roads and 50 new stations. With them we want to connect the West Bank settlements with those of West Jerusalem. The business for CAF does not remain alone in the construction of this light meter. It is also about to decide when it will participate in the management of the lines. At the moment, it is being assessed that its involvement is maintained between 15 and 25 years once between operation. CAF shields that the award of the contract is prior to the Israeli invasion of Palestine. Do not get into. At least that is what they say from SCNB. Appealed by up to four associations that rejected that CAF received this contest for its involvement with the project in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the Belgian operator has responded that it cannot “determine the foreign or commercial policy of the companies involved,” they collect in The mail. Its position is contrary to other companies in the sector. The Norwegian sovereign fund, for example, has retired its investments in Shapir (the partner of CAF in the Israeli project) for the genocide committed in Gaza and the Manager Storeband also took CA from its portfolio for its involvement. The Catalan company Comsa was also part of the consortium that had gained the award of the blue line of the tram to Jerusalem but In 2024 he retired from the project and The Basque Siner announced that it will not serve steel to Israeli companies.

Alibaba has presented its largest AI model, with a billion parameters. The question is whether at this point that means something

by

The Chinese giant Alibaba has announced a new language model, the largest they have announced to date. It is called Qwen-3-Max and presumes that it has more than 1 billion parameters. The biggest. It is the last model within the series Qwen3 which was launched in May of this year and, as its name ‘Max’ indicates, it is the largest to date. Its size is given by the parameters, 1 billion to be exact, while the previous models of its series reached a maximum of 235,000 million. According to South China Morning Post (Which owner Alibaba), his model stands out in understanding of language, reasoning and text generation. Benchmarks. The results of the benchmarks place QWen3-Max ahead of competitors such as Claude Opus 4, Deepseek v3.1 and Kimi K2. If Gemini 2.5 Pro or GPT-5 does not appear, it is because they are models of reasoning and have only compared rapid response models. As they point out in Dev.toboth Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5 obtain higher scores in mathematics and code, so reasoning models continue to have advantage in those areas. Qwen3-max-preview can already be tested free of charge. Benchmarks shared by Alibaba. Parameters. The parameters are all the internal variables that a model learns during training. In other words, it is the knowledge that the model has obtained from the data with which it has trained and allows it to interpret our requests and generate their answers. In theory, the more parameters, the model will have more and better capabilities. It also implies that it needs more computational power both to train and to execute the model. More does not mean better. The speech of the parameters remembers that of the megapixels with the first cameras. A 100 megapixel sensor will take larger photos than a 10 sensor, but there are other crucial factors that affect image quality such as sensor size or lens luminosity. Quality data. More parameters can be translated into more learning capacity and more resolution of complex tasks, as long as quality training data has been used. It is obvious: a language model that has been trained with redundant, incorrect or biased data will learn and continue to reproduce those errors in their operation. There are more. In 2022, the laboratory Deepmind from Google, discovered that many models were oversized in parameters but underlined in data. To demonstrate it they created the Chinchilla model with “only” 70,000 million parameters, but four times more data. The result was that it beat Gopher, a model with four times more parameters. Architecture. The architecture of the model is another decisive factor in order to achieve an efficient model; A standard architecture is not the same that forces the model to use its entire neuronal network, than one like Mixture of experts which consists of many smaller networks. It would be something like having an expert committee each with a specialty. In this way, the model can choose your expert for each query and not have to use the entire network. For example, with this technique, Mistral manages to use only a fraction of his parameters And so it is faster and cheap to execute.

Everything to know, what each symbol means and how it affects you

by

The day came. From today, Juniode 2025, all mobile phones and tablets will have to have the energy label. Yes, that same label that we are used to seeing In every small and large house appliance. This regulation entered into force on September 20, but it has not been until now that the validity has been full. From today, if a manufacturer wants to sell its mobiles and tablets in European territory, you will have to add the label in the box. It is an interesting change and that we will begin to notice sooner rather than later in the linear of electronics and websites. Thus, we are going to review everything that needs to know about this label, what each symbol means and what the regulation on ecological design that also comes into play. What devices affects. According to Regulation (EU) 2023/1669 of the commission of June 16, 2023this new regulation will apply to mobile phones (with a tactile screen between four and seven inches), wireless landlines and tablets (with touch screen between seven and 17.4 inches). Those devices will have to have their energy EPREL energy tag (acronym for European Product Registry for Energy Labelling). Energy label that we will see from now on mobiles and tablets | Image: European Union What is the label. Virtually identical to what you can find in any appliance and similar to the one you can see on these lines. There are several symbols and their meanings are as follows: A QR code with a link provided by the manufacturer to product -related information. The commercial brand of the device. If the mobile is Samsung, “Samsung”. The identifier of the specific model. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 256 GB is the SM-S938BZBDEUB. The Energy Efficiency Scale: “A” is the maximum possible score and “G” is the worst. The device efficiency level according to the anterior scale. The autonomy of the battery per cycle measured in hours and minutes per complete battery charge. That is, how much the battery lasts for the mobile. The reliability of the device in free fall: “A” is the maximum possible score and “e” is the worst. The repair of the device: “A” is the maximum possible score and “E” is the worst. Load cycles supported by the phone until the battery reaches 80% of its maximum capacity. In other words, the battery degradation rate. Classification of Water Resistance, Dust and Subsibility. For this indicator the IP certificate. The regulation number. In this case, “2023/1669“ Where will it be shown? The label must measure at least 68 x 136 millimeters, so we will probably find it in the back of the device box. However, the label must be visible in the linear and exposed products, so we will surely find it printed near the plate with the information and the price of the terminal. On the websites, the approach is the same as with the appliances: upload the label as a more product photo and adopt the reduced format for the preview. This is seen the energy labeling in appliances in Amazon (really in any ecommerce, it is something standard). From now on, when we look for a mobile we should see the same | Image: Xataka How all this is measured. The European Regulation establishes that measurements and calculations will be made using harmonized norms whose reference numbers have been published in the Official Gazette of the European Union or other reliable, precise and reproducible methods that take into account the most advanced methods generally accepted. ” While these standards arrive, other transitory test methods have been established. For example, the assigned capacity and autonomy of the battery in cycles is measured with respect to the standard IEC in 61960-3: 2017Rayado resistance based on the standard In 15771: 2010resistance to accidental falls depending on the IEC 60068-2-31, repeated free fall-Procedure 2etc. All this is detailed In Annex IV bis of the Regulation. It is not something “random” or that each brand can do as they want. Fallen tests made to a OnePlus 13 | Image: Xataka What if it is rounded? In fact, the regulation contemplates the possibility that a falsea brand the data. Annex IV establishes that manufacturers should not design their devices to change their behavior if they detect that they are being subjected to rehearsal, ergo that are being investigated. If detected, the device would not pass the certification and could not be sold at our borders. How to measure that? With common tolerances. Suppose a country decides to check if what the X brand says about autonomy per cycle is true. When doing the test, we already know that it is standard, the value obtained cannot be less than the value declared in +3%. If the brand ensures that the battery endures 60 minutes, but the test determines that it endures 50 minutes, the device does not meet the tolerances (in this case the maximum acceptable would be 58.2 minutes) and, therefore, does not comply with the regulation. All this, again, comes detailed in the document. Fairphone 5 | Image: Fairphone That the devices hold more. Another interesting aspect is that the regulation establishes a series of minimums in the call Ecological Design Regulation. This imposes on manufacturers some figures that play in favor of the consumer, who put on the table not a few challenges and that, surely, to speak in the coming months. The main points are the following: Fall resistance: Mobile will have to endure 45 falls from a meter high without a case or protector. In the case of folding, 35 closed and 15 open falls (always with the pre -installed sheet). Rayados resistance: mobile phones must have a minimum level of level four on the MOHS scale. This obviously does not apply to folding. Water and dust resistance: mobile phones, all, must be resistant to objects of more than one millimeter already thickness and water splashes. It would be the equivalent of an IP42 or … Read more

The atmosphere has been stuck in a “extreme heat generator” on Spain. That means something: a hard summer

by

The first fortnight of June has brought us more typical temperatures at the end of July or even August: there have been numerous days in which wide areas of the southern peninsular have seen the thermometers exceed the 40º line. The problem now is not that heat stays with us throughout the summer, the problem is that it may go more. Same trend. The heat seems determined to settle on the peninsula, or at least that is what can be detached from models such as those used by the European Center for Middle Term weather forecasts (ECMWF). To understand why, we have to look higher towards the atmosphere. About 1,500 meters high. According to Explain The physicist, disseminator and researcher at Aemet JJ German in his account Twitterwe have the track in the forecasts on the temperature at height at 850 hectopascales (HPA), which usually refer to an approximate height in the atmosphere of 1,500 meters, the low troposphere zone. The temperature at this level tends to be related to the temperature that we see at soil level, so it can serve as a reference for how temperatures will evolve in the coming days. According to data shared by German, we not only find a temperature above the climatological average (an anomaly above the 5th Celsius), but the situation will last, with the possibility that this anomaly approaches 10th towards the end of June. “This is barbarity: far from returning to balance as normal, atmospheric dynamics on the Iberian Peninsula seem to get stuck in an extreme heat generator,” explained in its publication. Looking at the map. If we focus on The map Prepared by ECMWF, we will also see that heat will remain foreseeably installed on our heads. The forecasts indicate that during the next ten days the almost entire peninsula will be under the influence of temperatures above 20º to 850 HPA, with large areas above the 24th and with some points, the 28th barrier temporarily exceeds. What’s happening. In a second TweetGerman explained what is happening. According to the expert, a Dana located west of the peninsula and a dorsal (an extension of high pressures associated with an anticyclone) would be responsible for the situation. A situation that would be seeing aggravated by the low atmospheric movement, thus achieving what German refers as a “static equilibrium point.” The result: heat and more heat. The result is the intuitive: this warm episode seems to be sentenced to extend over time, at least during the next week. The maximum in a large part of the Peninsular South They could stay above 36º and promptly above 40º.

The blackout in Spain has demonstrated which is the ideal means to inform in a crisis: the radio

by

In the minutes that followed the Broady in Spain and Portugal At 12:32 yesterday, millions of people They wondered The same: “What happened.” In other crises, television, newspapers and of course the Internet are the clear alternatives to find out what is happening, but yesterday that was not possible. Almost everything failed, but there was a means of communication that allowed us to keep us informed: the radio. Where is the FM radio of the mobiles. The fragility of our communications caused the radio to erect as a unique solution to keep us informed. The mobiles had support for FM radio years, but this feature has disappeared in all current models. In fact It went from being an extra desired to an exclusive function of cheaper models. Something older mobiles do have that function by connecting headphones (which bend as antenna), and that allowed those who still have any of those mobiles could be informed thanks to that functionat least while the mobile battery lasted. Some brands keep them in some models. Xiaomi is one of the manufacturers that still includes support for FM radio in some of its Redmi family models, but of course not all. He Xiaomi Redmi Note 14s or the Redmi 14c They are good examples. The normal thing is that in recent terminals we will not find that option, which we can enable in older mobiles (such as Little m5he Motorola G73 5g or the Samsung Galaxy M23 5g) and also in input range terminals and in less extended brands such as Doogee or Ulefone. Radio as informative lifeguards. Without light there was no television or wifi in houses and offices, and connect to the Internet It was an odyssey all day: Mobile lines, the only ones that could give a way out, worked irregularly … If they worked. And yet, the radio worked without apparent problems. Transistor to batteries. Meanwhile, those still kept a battery transistor at home could be informed thanks to the radio stations continued to broadcast during the blackout. These transistors became the salvation of many citizens, who either had radios in their homes or gathered in the streets around vehicles with analog radios or that could listen to the radio What other people had in the streets or on the terraces. They were also one of the products that They sold out more quickly in shops that remained active during the blackout. Why the stations continued to work. Augusto Molina and Héctor Zafra are respectively the technical director and the technical manager of the SER, and explained In a piece in this medium The way of proceeding in these emergency cases. The first thing they did was turn off monitors and all the teams that could be turned off to save to the fullest. That allowed maximizing the autonomy of emergency equipment that is used in these cases, and that were the key both in the SER chain and other stations. Electrogen equipment. These structure (motorogener) groups are machines that generate electricity through an internal combustion engine. They make use of fossil fuels (gasoline, diesel) and allow generating electricity while the fuel lasts. Are the teams that They are used in hospitals to maintain a good part of the essential services during this type of energy crisis. Several stations survived the blackout. National Radio of Spain kept for example emissions, such as They also did wave zero, the Cope chainthe aforementioned chain and other stations – although not all – and broadcasters who could continue to inform thanks to those emergency teams that were activated during the blackout. Radio as lifeguard in emergency situations. What happened yesterday has revealed the relevance of the radio as an ideal means of communication to emergencies. There have been numerous cases in the story in which that has become evident. In our country they stand out for example The coup d’etat of 23-F In Spain, in 11m or more recent attacks The Dana that ravaged the Valencian Community and that caused the majority of the electric laying. Transistors, both in one and another, allowed to remain informed.
