And there cannot be a single crack in this shield,” Zelenskyy said.“We will not allow any political instants to spoil the relations between the Ukrainian and Polish peoples, and emotions should definitely cool down,” the president added.Poland has been one of Kyiv’s most vocal supporters since Moscow’s aggression ramped up in 2022.

How about a little bit of a chill this morning? If you woke up early enough and headed out the door this morning, it was apparent that a flash of Fall was in the air as temps bottomed out in the upper 40s and low 50s for many outside the city. That low humidity and crisp air in place stays through the day as afternoon highs recover into the upper 70s inland and low to mid 70s at the coast. Sunny skies this morning mix in with some scattered afternoon cumulous clouds that bubble up. We stay dry.

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 17:45:52 GMT

(CNN) — As an extreme drought grips Mexico, leading to crop losses, a lack of water and higher food prices, the government is trying to bring desperately-needed rain by turning to a controversial technology: cloud seeding.In July, the country kicked off the latest phase of a cloud seeding project that aims to artificially stimulate rainfall. It is targeting 62 municipalities clustered in its north and northeast, with the aim of “combating the effects of drought and contributing to the recharge of aquifers,” according to a statement from the Ministry of Agriculture.Cloud seeding is a technology first discovered in the 1940s. Since then, it has been used in around 50 countries, including in the United States and China. Mexico has been experimenting with weather modification for more than seven decades.However, some scientists remain very cautious about the effectiveness of cloud seeding and warn that it is not a solution to drought.“It has a con...
