The Swiss Glacier Monitoring Network (Glamos) measured the amount of snow on 25 glaciers in April & May. Extrapolated to all glaciers, the deficit is 25 percent compared to the average for the years 2010 to 2020, as the measurement report published on Friday shows. This winter is therefore one of the five winters with the least snow in the past two decades

🇮🇪🇬🇧🆕🚆 Contract signed in #Belfast for new Enterprise fleet on the Dublin–Belfast rail line, attended by senior #Irish, Northern Irish and #UK ministers. #Ireland and Northern Ireland formally signed the deal with #Swiss manufacturer #Stadler for eight FLIRT intercity trains.

The €698m (£548m) cross-border investment, partly funded by the NI Executive, Irish Government and PEACEPLUS support, will deliver tri-mode trains due in 2028. The new fleet will offer around 400 seats, step-free access, improved digital information, charging points, luggage and cycle space, plus enhanced passenger areas.

The trains are designed to run on electric, diesel and battery power, reducing emissions and supporting future electrification. Journey times are expected to fall to under two hours, with capacity for up to 16 services each way daily. Officials said the project will strengthen connectivity, economic growth and sustainable #transport across the Dublin–Belfast corridor.

Hey, some updates on the Plague Ship of #Hantavirus.

So, it wasn’t 23 people who got off the boat at St Helens, it was more than 30. Those 30 have dispersed around the globe, so fun! Thankfully, #Andean hantavirus, while still deadly, and while transmissible from human to human, is not an easy spread like flu or covid. So, this is not a lock it all down event, as far as we know from information available.

A #KLM flight attendant who was on a plane with some of the sick passengers is currently in hospital with mild symptoms, but no test result. A #Swiss man is in hospital. Two people in the US #Georgia are quarantined, two in the #UK quarantined, and some folks are floating around #Texas somewhere and they don’t know where everyone else is yet.
