ARCTIC #AURORAS: Around the Arctic Circle, many #aurora tour guides have already packed their cameras for the end of the season. Marianne Bergli of Tromsø, Norway, is glad she waited one more night. "Auroras filled the sky on April 4th," she reports. "It was a fantastic end to our touring season."

A #solar #wind stream brushed Earth's magnetic field on April 4th. It did not cause a global geomagnetic storm; the planetary K-index peaked at 4. Nevertheless, the Arctic light show was sublime.

Soon, summer sunlight will make these displays impossible to see inside the Arctic Circle. That's why Bergli and others are going on vacation. "We start again in September," she says

Big sand battery to store wind and solar energy using crushed soapstone

A huge sand battery is set to slash the carbon emissions of a Finnish town.

The industrial-scale storage unit in #Pornainen, southern Finland, will be the world’s biggest sand battery when it comes online within a year.

Capable of storing 100 MWh of thermal energy from solar and wind sources, it will enable residents to eliminate oil from their district heating network, helping to cut emissions by nearly 70 per cent.

The battery’s thermal energy storage capacity equates to almost one month’s heat demand in summer and a one-week demand in winter in Pornainen

#Cycling in #StormIsha was fun. To work, there was a very strong #Headwind which added about 25% to the time getting there, at least the sky was blue. By the time I’d finished, the #wind had died down to a brisk #Breeze but there was quite heavy #rain. However, I always have my #WaterproofTrousers at this time of year and so I didn’t get wet.

I used the anonymous interface to #ChatGPT to write a #Haiku for the occasion (https://anonchatgpt.com/). Here it is:
Storm Isha roars strong,
Cyclists brave the wind and rain,
Pedals spin through pain.

Arbeitsreiche Woche fĂźr nichts. Das #Orkantief hat dafĂźr gesorgt, dass wir das Weihnachtssingen im #Ostseestadion aus SicherheitsgrĂźnden absagen mussten. GlĂźcklicherweise hatte ich die Kletterei in der #BĂźhne hinter mich gebracht bevor da #Wind seinen Peak erreichte, war aber an den Masten deutlich zu spĂźren, wie er immer mehr zunahm.
