Brief Relief from the Heat Late Week

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:33:34 GMT

A weak front is moving through South Florida this Thursday, which was responsible for the heavy thunderstorms much of the metro received Wednesday evening. As this front slowly pushes through the area, it will introduce milder temperatures and lower humidity — but it won’t last long.In Miami, the 0.57 inches of rainfall over the past two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) was the most since February 17 when 0.61 inches of rain fell. In Fort Lauderdale, just shy of 1 inch was recorded, which is the most in nearly two months!A few showers will remain possible this Thursday due to the weak front and moisture blowing onshore associated with a northeast wind. The best chance for any showers will be from 9 AM through 3 PM across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Then that rain risk will shift toward the Florida Keys with the best chance for any shower activity being in the mid-afternoon to evening hours.Otherwise, expect times of sunshine paired with seasonable highs in the low to mi...

The political king: Charles talks up net-zero and refugee action in Berlin visit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:33:34 GMT

LONDON — In his first overseas visit as U.K. monarch, King Charles III is doing little to dispel the notion he’s a political animal at heart.During a state banquet speech at Schloss Bellevue, the official residence of the German president, Charles talked up politicians’ “vital” efforts to cut carbon emissions, praised Germany’s “extraordinary generosity” in hosting Ukrainian refugees, took a swipe at Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and attempted a patch-up job on U.K.-German relations frayed by Brexit.Charles had previously vowed to take a restrained approach as king, having earned a reputation as prince of Wales for speaking out on hot-button political issues — and even lobbying British ministers over policies he disagreed with.His mother, Queen Elizabeth, had famously avoided political topics as monarch, and Charles said last year that his elevation meant it would “no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies t...
