Heavy rain is moving across... the Sahara Desert? 🤔 Mali and Mauritania are experiencing unusually high levels of rainfall right now. This may be one reason why the Atlantic has had so few hurricanes so far. Tropical waves, which often develop into hurricanes, have not been

Deviant Weather Observer The animation is a forecast model, yes. The thunderstorms are visible with satellite imagery too:

Superati per la prima volta da quando si registrano dati i 30 °C in Norvegia e in Svezia a settembre. Battuti numerosi record assoluti mensili.

Chiunque abbia imposto a #Sangiuliano di andare ad espiare in tv, non vuole bene al paese, a tutti i lavoratori seri e competenti, a chi un lavoro non lo trova e ai tantissimi giovani senza possibilità che dovranno emigrare.

L'alba illumina il vortice di bassa pressione che tra domenica e lunedì transiterà sull'Europa centrale portando piogge e temporali anche sulla Toscana.

Per la prima volta in Danimarca si sono registrati 3 giorni consecutivi con temperatura minima superiore ai 20 °C nel mese di settembre. Dati dal 1874. Probabilmente la colpa è degli xiloglucani, delle proteine del latte e dei neuroni a specchio.

The "new normal." It's like the old normal, but with more illness, chronic health afflictions, and death. 1/3

Truly horor scenes as #Yagi is making landfall,hopefully everyone is okey.

Led by Pei Li, we found dramatic nAb evasion conferred by a single DelS31 mutation in the NTD of spike and increased conformational stability. DelS31 variants currently account for >70% of US COVID cases, should DelS31 be included in vaccine design? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We found that a single NTD deletion DelS31 mutation resulted in over 9-fold decrease in nAb titer, distinct antigenicity, decreased S1 shedding, as well as increased resistance to elevated temperatures.

We observed decreased cell-cell fusion conferred by DelS31. Structurally, it strengthens the interaction between NTD and RBD, leading the RBD to energetically favor the down conformation, thus becoming less accessible to ACE2 and some class 1 and class 4 antibodies.

Me: Tries to write a little analysis of yesterday’s tornadoes in Romagna Apulia:

Oh God the Windy San Foca webcam actually caught it

This thing took one of the weirdest paths I've ever found for an Italian tornado

Héctor the Convector Basically it developed right on the coast (around the webcam location), headed generally NW, completely traversed the port, almost stalled in the sea, condensed and then turned towards the SW striking a beaching facility in town
