“The very intense heat returns to most of the country, especially starting Tuesday”

by

If we thought that the drop in temperatures that we experienced this weekend was going to be something lasting, the truth is that we were completely wrong, since temperatures are about to rise again in a good part of the peninsula. Something that anticipates a possible new heat wave, which would be the fourth we have experienced this summer. The AEMET notice. Through your X account, the public body made it clear that “the heat returns very intense to most of the country, especially starting Tuesday.” He even goes further by pointing out that, with the data we have on the table, this month of July would tie as the warmest month since there are records, along with July 2022. Now, the culprit for this increase in temperatures would be an intrusion of very warm air that would enter the Iberian Peninsula in the next few hours and that would form a true “heat dome” that would trigger the thermometers. What is to come. To understand why temperatures are going to rise so quickly, you have to look to North Africa. The situation What meteorologists predictlike Samuel Biener in Meteored, is due to the strengthening of a subtropical anticyclonic ridge that will remain stationary over our geography. This configuration creates this ‘heat dome’ that acts as an immense high-pressure lid that pushes hot air downward, trapping it and compressing it against the surface. The result is that the environment overheats day after day without the possibility of ventilation and, to further complicate the situation, it arrives loaded with suspended dust directly from the Sahara. Thermal climbing. The rise in temperatures will be drastic and rapid and throughout the week, the thermometers will climb until they reach values ​​that will exceed the usual average for this time by more than 4 ºC in areas such as the Pyrenees, the Ebro valley and the central-east of Castilla y León. The important thing is that, starting on Wednesday, the situation increases in level, since the river depressions will stabilize in the thermal range of 40 to 42 ºC and cities such as Seville, Jaén, Badajoz and Ciudad Real will easily overcome the barrier of 40 ºC in the shade. The critical It will arrive on Friday, and if the forecasts of the European ECMWF model do not change, the run-up to the weekend will be the most suffocating day. For example, the area around Córdoba could register peaks of up to 44ºC, while areas such as Toledo or Zaragoza will orbit around 42ºC. On hold. Technically, the AEMET has not yet activated the official heat wave warning for this episode, since very strict criteria of intensity, territorial extension and duration must be met (a minimum of three consecutive days). However, with the model data in hand, everything indicates that we are on the verge of the fourth great wave of this season. That is why, despite the fact that at the moment only a rise in temperatures has been reported and they have activated different yellow and orange alerts In the national territory, in the next few hours this new heat wave could end up being confirmed. And the most important thing is that temperatures are not the only thing of concern, since there is also the possibility of storms appearing that could be locally intense.

long hair returns among men

by

Men’s hair never completely said goodbye, it’s true, but over the last few years (more than a decade) the fashion that has reigned among men has been its antonym: courteous fade. Short hair and impossible gradients that in many cases included shaved necks and temples. They were (still are) requested in thousands in barbershops and their image was repeated everywhere: gyms, bars, offices and of course on TVs and networks (from Llados to Ibai), where the fade in its multiple forms gradually took shape as part of the image of the manly-looking, productive and successful man. The model to follow. The World Cup has reminded us that that is changing. The other protagonist of the World Cup: If we talk about national teams, Spain has been the main protagonist of the World Cup, but things change when we focus on the players. In that case the ‘photo’ is much more diverse. And not always for sporting reasons. There are two footballers who (beyond their merits on the field) have gone viral for their appearance: Erling Haaland and Marc Cucurella. The first is a Norwegian of almost two meters that could well illustrate an article about Vikings; The second, born in Barcelona, ​​is dark and does not reach 1.8 m. Both do share one trait in common: hair that (although with obvious differences in both cases) looks proudly long. In the case of Haaland we have seen it mostly tied up in a ponytail. Cucurella usually wears her curly hair loose, with a discreet headband, which gives it so much volume that it has starred in one of the most viral memes of the World Cup: a cat with a curly wig reminiscent of that of the Spanish full-back. @foxsportsmx THIS IS THUS A MEME WAS BORN 😻🇪🇸 If you were wondering where the “Michi-Cucurella” came from, here is the answer 📹 (welcometolevusch/TikTok) #cucurella #humor #soccer ♬ original sound – Fox Sports Is it important? Yes. It is true that in the stadiums of the USA, Mexico and Canada we have seen many other players with shaved heads or short hair; but it is equally true that footballers like Haaland, Cucurella, Alisson Becker, Darwin Núñez, Dominik Szoboszlai, David Raya or Marcos Llorente demonstrate that something is changing in men’s style patterns. We don’t say it. Over the last few weeks they have pointed it out several analysts who agree that, sporting issues or of geopolitics Apart from that, the big winner of the 2026 World Cup has been men’s hair. Not so much because it was the majority aesthetic option but because the FIFA event has reminded us that long hair, in a way, has been resigned. A new meaning? That’s how it is. Haircuts are just that: haircuts. But it doesn’t mean that they don’t end up loaded with meaning. In recent years, faded cuts have become part of the business card of a masculinity associated with certain ideas, such as explained a few days ago Álvaro Fernández-Espina in ICON: they showed correctness, efficiency, cleanliness. Also certain status. And it’s normal. You can’t wear a fade if you don’t go to your hairdresser every few weeks to touch it up, which in turn denotes money, time, and conscious concern and care for your own image. It doesn’t just happen with cuts fade. Shaved heads, pin up hairstyles, bob hair, ‘broccoli’ hair, long sideburns, layered men’s cuts with forward bangs, dyed hair… Often when people choose a specific way to wear their hair, they do so not only based on strictly aesthetic criteria or for comfort, it also transmits (deliberately or not) a message. And that background reading is changing in men’s hair. Beyond surfers and rockers. What the World Cup has shown us is that the men’s hair of 2026 has little to do with those of the 80s or 90s. Not even with those of the early 2000s. Long hair is no longer something for surfers, rockers or unkempt rebels; They have become a sign of sophistication and status. Exactly the same as the gradients. Marc Cucurella, Erling Haaland, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alisson Becker share another characteristic in common, beyond being elite footballers who more or less coincide in their hair choice: they show perfectly cared for hair. The importance of details. It is not a minor issue. Has cuts fade who can afford the time and resources that a good gradient requires. The same applies to tanned skin, muscular bodies in the gym, ironed clothes and… (exactly) long, shiny and healthy hair. If something surprises when we see Cucurella running with her mop of curls, it’s not just her hair, it’s how she wears it. With it he shows a personal choice, but also a dedication and hard work that has little to do with the idea of ​​carefree or rebellion that we associated with the rockers of the 80s. Does it only happen in football? No. The FIFA World Cup has been the great mass spectacle of the summer year and that makes us look at its protagonists and trends with a magnifying glass, but men’s hair hydrated and cared for with masks, treatments and hours of dedication, takes time also making its way into other areas, such as cinema or music. There they are (or were there not so long ago) Jared Leto, Keanu Reeves, Jeremy Allen White, Johnny Depp, Brad Pit, Harry Styles, Orlando Bloom or Jason Mamoa, to name just a handful of examples. Also some K-pop stars. The nuances. The most interesting thing about fashions is that they are not exclusive or zero-sum games. That long hair is regaining ground does not mean that it cannot coexist with other radically opposite trends, such as shavedcuts that they keep playing with gradients or simply allow the hair to grow to gain volume but without reaching the mane, something that we have been seeing for years in the famous “broccoli hair” that is having so much success in Generation Z.

The highest-grossing superhero movie in history returns to theaters to repeat its success with a longer version

by

In 2019, Marvel re-released ‘Avengers: Endgame’ with unreleased footage to take the title of highest-grossing film in history from ‘Avatar’. The crown lasted a year and a half. In 2026 the maneuver is activated again, this time linked to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. It is the jewel in the crown of the Marvel team and Disney is not going to stop squeezing it. The return Marvel has confirmed that ‘Avengers: Endgame’ returns to theaters on September 25, 2026 under the title ‘Avengers Endgame Encore’. The new version includes a special introduction, additional scenes and a final scene that, for now, will only be seen in IMAX and Infinity Vision screenings, the premium screen system that Disney presented a few months ago. ‘Endgame’ continues to be the ceiling that Marvel Studios has not touched again, neither at the box office nor in the feeling of collective event that surrounded it, and that spirit is what the studio wants to evoke for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. What’s new? Joe Russo has confirmed that the scenes filmed for this re-release are set in ‘Doomsday’, and describes them as a fundamental piece to build a bridge to the new film. Marvel already used this re-release formula, almost identical, with ‘Endgame’ itself: in June 2019, just two months after its premiere, the film would return to theaters with seven minutes of extra footage and an explicit objective: to surpass ‘Avatar’ at the box office before the premiere of ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’. That maneuver worked. On July 20, 2019, during the Marvel panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the studio confirmed that ‘Endgame’ had surpassed the $2.789 million accumulated by ‘Avatar’ until then, thus becoming the highest-grossing film in history. The celebration was short-lived: in March 2021, ‘Avatar’ was released again in China and regained the title in a single weekend. Since then, the distance between both films has not stopped growing: today ‘Avengers: Endgame’ accumulates 2,799 million dollars compared to 2,923 million for ‘Avatar’. There is almost 124 million difference, much more than what separated both films in 2019. Fall without Avengers. The collections of the ‘Endgame’ films have suffered a constant decline. Let’s remember some cases: ‘Eternals’ raised 402 million dollars with a budget of between 200 and 250 million. ‘Black Widow’ stood at 379 million, weighed down by its simultaneous premiere on Disney+. ‘Quantumania’ suffered the worst second weekend drop in Marvel Studios history. ‘The Marvels’ closed that streak without achieving the financial success that the studio expected. The real goal of ‘Avengers Endgame Encore’ is no longer to recover a record that today seems unattainable, but to rebuild the feeling of an event that Marvel lost years ago: to remind the public, just before December and the premiere of ‘Doomsday’, why they cared about this story. What is played in December. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ hits theaters on December 18, 2026, the same day as ‘Dune: Part Three’, a coincidence that already has generated friction for the distribution of IMAX screens. Ticket sales for Infinity Vision screenings of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ start right now, on July 20. Five days later, at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel will show the first official trailer for the film. Depending on how both events are received, we will see if Marvel is in a position to bottle again that seemingly unrepeatable lightning bolt that was ‘Endgame’ In Xataka | In just one month in office and with 1,000 layoffs, Disney’s new CEO dismantles the art department that built the MCU

Jensen Huang returns to Japan to acknowledge his debt to Sega 30 years later

by

With a market capitalization more than 5 billion dollarstoday Nvidia It is the most valuable company of the world, but it goes without saying that it was not always like this. In fact, and as happens in the best houses, the beginnings are difficult and if not tell Microsoft. Nvidia was also on the edge of the precipice just a couple of years after starting its journey, but it had a sort of “savior angel” who He gave them oxygen for six months: Sega. They say that being born well means being grateful and Jensen Huang traveled to Japan this week and there, in a meeting with fans to celebrate 30 years of collaboration between both companies,, He dedicated some kind words of thanks to Irimajiri Shōichirō, the former president of Sega and his savior. In addition, Huang thanked Yu Suzukicreator of Virtua Fighter, for his pioneering work in 3D as a fundamental basis for the later development of PC graphics. What happened in 1995. “In 1995, Nvidia was on the brink of bankruptcy. We had chosen the wrong technology and here we are today, the largest company in the world” Huang said. at this week’s event. At that time Nvidia had launched its first chip, the NV1. This processor’s rendering was based on curved surfaces instead of triangles. Good idea, bad timing: the all-powerful Microsoft made the triangle-based method the industry standard for PC graphics with DirectX. The NV1 fell into irrelevance. In fact, Nvidia had another order from Sega to develop its next chip for its Dreamcast console, but finally the order was canceled and instead it opted for NEC’s PowerVR chip, as reported by TechSpot. Sega’s decision. Nvidia had money left to survive 30 days, according to Tom’s Hardware. So Jensen Huang traveled to Japan with a kamikaze idea: he asked Sega to convert the pending payment into an equity investment. And he was honest: he admitted that if they invested that money in Nvidia, they would probably lose it, but if they didn’t, they would go bankrupt and have no chance. Irimajiri, who I had appreciation for that young foundersupported him and convinced the board of directors to contribute those 5 million dollars of the time And so Huang has recognized it 30 years later: “If it weren’t for what Sega did for NVIDIA, NVIDIA wouldn’t be here.” What happened next. With that money, Nvidia had half a year of margin to redirect its future and boy did it get it right: it built the RIVA 128, a triangular chip that was launched in 1997 and sold a million units in four months. Shortly after, another success would arrive, the GeForce 256 GPU. Nvidia went public in 1999 and Sega sold its shares shortly after for 15 million dollars, tripling his investment. At the time it seemed like a reasonable decision, but with hindsight things change. According to VGCciting Huang’s previous statements from a few months ago: “If I had kept that $5 million investment, today it would probably be worth close to a billion dollars because the moment we went public, they sold it (at that time Nvidia was worth $300 million).

Tomorrow the best science fiction series of the moment returns, with a twist in its story that has given it a perfect score

by

This July 3 comes to AppleTV the third season of ‘Silo‘. And this marks the halfway point of the series: in December 2024, Apple confirmed the simultaneous renewal of a third and fourth season, and stated that the latter was conceived as the definitive closure of the story. We are halfway through this exciting series, and everything seems to indicate that we are once again facing an event: the third season boasts 100% from critics on Rotten Tomatoesthe best so far. ‘Silo’ is set in a toxic and uninhabitable future in which 10,000 people live locked in a gigantic 144-story underground silo, with no memory of how or why they got there, and firmly believing that going outside means certain death. The series follows Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), a low-level engineer who, after the suspicious death of the sheriff, begins to unravel the thread of lies that sustain the social order of the underground complex. In this new season, Juliette has become mayor of Silo 18, but with memory gaps about what she has experienced outside, with the community trying to rebuild itself after the rebellion of the previous season and facing a new threat. In parallel, the season opens a second timeline set centuries agocentered on a congressman and a journalist who begin to uncover the conspiracy that would end up leading to the construction of the silos. This half “from the past” largely adapts ‘Shift’, the second book of Hugh Howey’s trilogy on which the series is inspired and which Minotauro has published in Spanish, and is the main novelty of this season compared to the previous two, focused almost exclusively on Juliette’s present. The praise for this new season has not stopped appearing in the last week, and the originality of the time jump stands out above all. The setting, interpretations and, as always on Apple TV+, ambition of the series, make it an absolutely essential event for science fiction lovers.

Tomorrow one of the most acclaimed Marvel superhero series of all time returns to Disney+

by

Since the start of its cinematic incarnation, no adaptation of the X-Men had aroused as much expectation as the second season of ‘X-Men’97’which arrives this July 1st at Disney+. After the first season won Best Animated Series at the Critics’ Choice Awards, it became clear that this was not just another animated superhero series. Its secret: an exquisite balance between the nostalgia that it embraces from its very title and its own identity and quality that keep it standing without needing to appeal to the affection of fans. Just two years ago, ‘X-Men’97’ accumulated 4 million views in its first five days, becoming the biggest premiere of an animated series on the platform since ‘What If…?’ Although that has not turned it into a series with a massive following (its content is still a niche bet), its careful animation style, faithful to the original from the nineties but at the same time sufficiently current, has earned countless praise. The proof: the viewing of the original 1992 series on the platform has doubled since the premiere of this ‘X-Men’97’. The argument leads us to an intertemporal mess of those that (literally) make an epoch: from Ancient Egypt, where Xavier, Magneto, Rogue, Nightcrawler and the Beast are, to the year 3960, where Cyclops and Jean Gray meet future versions of their children. Apocalypse is the central antagonist this time, in a season that will have no trouble surpassing the poor live-action version from a few years ago. Among the acquisitions in the cast, Neve Campbell stands out as Polaris, daughter of Magneto. A quick look at the episode titles leads us to guess some of the scenarios and enemies that will be featured this season: there is a ‘Days of Past Future’ that obviously plays with the classic ‘Days of Future Past’); ‘A Force to Be Reckoned With’ introduces X-Force; ‘Rise of Apocalypse’ refers to one of the group’s most fearsome enemies; ‘Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs’ takes us back to Wolverine’s time as Weapon X; ‘Strange Land, Savage Heart’ is a reference to one of the fan-favorite settings, the Savage Land; and ‘The Dead Man’s Hand’ may be a nod to another long-awaited return, that of Gambit. Some confirmed secondary characters are Sabretooth, Mariko, Mental Butterfly, Archangel or Colossus, among many others.

One of the best science fiction series in history is animated, and today it returns to HBO Max with new episodes

by

In 2013, Adult Swim premiered a series about an alcoholic scientist and his teenage grandson traveling the multiverse. ‘Rick and Morty‘ seemed like another hooligan animated series, but it became, for reasons that have a lot to do with being in the right place at the right time, into one of the most relevant television phenomena of the last two decades. The ninth season has just arrived HBO Maxand everything indicates that they are going to give us more of the same. Which in the case of ‘Rick and Morty’ is always excellent news. Season 7, released in 2023, was the first without Justin Roiland, one of the series’ co-creators. Adult Swim cut ties with him in January of that year following criminal domestic violence charges (ultimately dismissed) and the ‘Rick and Morty’ characters, voiced by him, were reassigned to other actors (and if you didn’t know it, it would be impossible for you to detect it). The public reaction was cold, and it ended up having the lowest score in the series’ history on Rotten Tomatoes. The eighth season, broadcast in 2025, was proof that the series could survive trauma. It started with 100% among critics and its public score reached 93%, which finally stabilized at 79%. A considerable improvement over the previous year and more in line with the series average. Now comes the time to confirm that, indeed, the series has overcome past traumas. And he does it in a big way: with the return of Evil Morty and with the introduction of a new cosmic entitythe Collective. Furthermore, this return is accompanied by other news: Warner Bros. is in the first stages of development of a feature film. Its possible director, Jacob Hair, has helmed several episodes since 2019 and is the current supervising director of the series. According to the co-creator of the series, Dan Harmon, the intention is to invest more money and make a 90-minute episode, no more, no less. It may not seem too ambitious, but let’s not forget that we are facing one of the best science fiction series of all time.

Tomorrow one of the platform’s main action heroes returns to Prime Video, although he does so in an unexpected format

by

When Amazon closed ‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ in July 2023, the fourth and final season left one character with accounts settled. John Krasinski had spent five years playing a CIA analyst perpetually misplaced in a world that surpassed him. Few expected him to return to the character so soon and, above all, to do so in this way: ‘Jack Ryan: Covert Warthe first film derived from the series, arrives this Wednesday, May 20 to Prime Video. When Amazon premiered the series in 2018, the streaming It was still an incipient phenomenon. Amazon needed a high-budget action product, and opted for this well-known CIA analyst who had already had four previous performers: Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine. Krasinski stayed with the character throughout the television run, allowing the character to be developed in greater detail than his previous incarnations. The series was a success: 37% of Prime Video users watched the series during the first month. In 2024, Amazon MGM Studios announced the production of a film that would continue the series. The last time we saw Ryan star in a feature film was in ‘Jack Ryan: Enter Shadow’ in 2014, with Chris Pine. Here, Krasinski is joined by Sienna Miller as an MI6 agent. The plot follows Ryan, removed from the action but dragged back when uncovers a corrupt black ops unit known as Project Starling. The film arrives at a peculiar time for Prime Video. “The platform has built a very solid action ecosystem in recent years, with series like ‘Fallout’, ‘The Boys’ and, above all, ‘Reacher’, the epitome of that subgenre of thrillers and action.”for parents” to which Jack Ryan also belongs. The third season of ‘Reacher’ accumulated 54.6 million global viewers in its first two weeks. It is not surprising that Amazon has already suggested that ‘Covert War’ is not an end, but a new chapter.
