Cloudy and Warm for Noche Buena and Christmas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:15 GMT

The weekend is here and we are getting very close to the Noche Buena and Christmas holidays! The weather looks to cooperate for our holiday plans this weekend overall as high pressure remains in control of our pattern. Like previous days though, it won’t be completely dry and skies won’t be fully clear.Expect a mix of sun and clouds this Saturday with a few passing showers, especially in the morning. The breeze will build, turning gusty tonight, while highs top off at near-normal levels in the mid to upper 70s.Then on Sunday for Christmas Eve, clouds will return, making for a gloomy-looking day. At least most of these clouds won’t be of the rain-producing variety, so mostly dry conditions are expected.By Monday on Christmas Day, winds will veer more out of the southeast opposed to the east-northeast this weekend, allowing for warmer temperatures with highs near 80F. Like Sunday, that will be paired with mostly cloudy skies and an isolated shower.Times of showers an...

Israel ‘creating massive obstacles’ to Gaza aid, UN chief says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:15 GMT

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said the way Israel is conducting its offensive against Hamas is “creating massive obstacles to the distribution of humanitarian aid inside Gaza,” in a post on X Friday night. The Portuguese diplomat issued his statement shortly after the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling for increased aid deliveries to Gaza.He added that 136 U.N. aid workers in Gaza have been killed in 75 days of combat — something he described as unprecedented in the body’s history.“An effective aid operation in Gaza requires security; staff who can work in safety; logistical capacity; and the resumption of commercial activity,” wrote in his Friday night statement.The U.N. resolution urged to “create the conditions for sustainable cessation of hostilities,” but stopped short of calling for a ceasefire in the conflict.After days of fraught negotiations, the U.N. Security Council passed the text with 13 votes in favor and no votes against...

Turkish MPs set to restart talks on Sweden’s NATO application

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:15 GMT

The Turkish parliament’s foreign affairs committee will once again take up the issue of Sweden’s NATO accession Tuesday, according to a parliamentary statement cited in media reports.Turkey is one of two NATO countries, along with Hungary, that has yet to approve Sweden’s bid to join the military alliance following Russia’s full-scale assault on Ukraine.Turkey has complained that Stockholm is not doing enough to curb what it calls Kurdish terrorists in Sweden.The committee’s approval of Sweden’s application would clear the way for a full parliament vote on ratification, where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling alliance commands a majority. This is necessary before Erdoğan can sign it into law.The move follows a call between the Turkish leader and Joe Biden, during which the White said the U.S. president raised the issue of Sweden’s NATO application.Erdoğan later said Biden linked the issue to congressional approval for the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey.
