And with that, the group draw is set! Australia to open the tournament against the Philippines at Perth Stadium, before hosting Iran on the Gold Coast, and South Korea at Stadium Australia in Sydney! #WAC2026

14 deg C in #Perth was the maximum today. That's the coldest Perth day since 12.4 on 9/8/2022 & coldest July day since 13.5 on 5/7/2019. Coldest July day at Mt Lawley 12.5 on 14th 2003. Coldest ever day 8.8 26/6/1956. Coldest ever July day 10.5 9/7/1906. #Perthweather

Matildas in the West – What We Learned 💛💚 @cneilb.bsky.social provides his main takeaways from the Matildas games against Slovenia and Panama in Western Australia. beyond90.com.au/matildas-in-...

Low pressure system over the Bight.

2 - #Matildas' 0-1 loss vs Panama today is the 2nd time in 2025 they've lost to a team they've never faced previously in 'A' internationals (1-2 v Colombia, 27 Feb); only in 1997 (Italy, Belgium, Finland) they've logged more defeats vs 1st-time opposition. Unfamiliar. #AUSvPAN

The @the-matildas.bsky.social had an open training session at the Sam Kerr centre yesterday, and I was able to capture a few images of them going through their paces under the watchful eye of coaches Joe Montemurro and Emily Husband. #matildas

Looking a bit wet for the SW of WA on Wednesday evening according to the latest ECMWF run. #Perth #weather

I’ve been fortunate to be given media accreditation for the @the-matildas.bsky.social games against #Slovenia and #Panama in #Perth over the next week or so. Here are a few images I took at today’s press event. @beyond90au.bsky.social

The latest run of the ECMWF model via Windy.com and it’s looking promising for some much needed rain for southern WA. #perth #perthweather

Another storm, now over the southern Indian Ocean, will bring additional rain, some possibly heavy, and thunderstorms to western Western Australia, including Perth, Monday into Wednesday, AWST.

I'm calling for a complete and total shutdown of all Canadian wildfire smoke crossing the artificial line border, until we can figure out what the Hell kind of tariff to place on it.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Massive cuts at National Weather Service spark fears about forecast quality, public safety

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency will preserve access to websites tied to its research division, after previously moving to cancel a cloud web services contract that supports many of its pages.

Hug your local NWS forecaster! Two @apnews.com stories published within 6 hrs of each other. This workload + vacancy rate are unsustainable.

Le Pen is almost certain to appeal, and neither the prison sentence nor the fine would be applied until her appeals are exhausted. But her five-year ban from running for office kicks in immediately. Follow our live coverage here: reut.rs/423azc5

The judge also gave Le Pen a four-year prison sentence — of which two years are suspended and the rest served under home detention — and a 100,000 euro fine. Here's everything you need to know about Le Pen’s high-stakes EU funds misuse trial reut.rs/4l93iP5

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was convicted of embezzlement and handed an immediate five-year ban from public office, a sentence that will bar her from running in the 2027 presidential race unless she successfully appeals beforehand reut.rs/4laaGKf

A French court found far-right leader Marine Le Pen guilty of misappropriating EU funds, in a trial that could potentially see her barred from the 2027 presidential race reut.rs/4iIOs0h

Joint statement from Football Australia & Sam Kerr. “…FA concluded that Kerr’s professional and sincere acceptance of responsibility, as well as her acknowledgment of the far-reaching implications of on- and off-field actions, warranted no further action.”

The cruelty (especially to women and POC) is the point.

For the first time in its 104-year history, the agency that runs the New York City-area airports and seaports will have an all-female leadership team

At the risk of repeat. 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect, connected carbon dioxide increases in 🌏 atmosphere to global warming.

Jasmine Crockett holds no punches in a post on X directed at Elon Musk. She points out Musk's DOGE failures and how his rocket launch is another example of how much he fails. Now, if only other Democrats would learn from Crockett's fight for democracy.

Mr Zachariah Mole, the World's Untidiest Man, died today. His body is now lying in a state.

🧪 The computer model predictions for landfall for Tropical Cyclone Albert aren't great for Thursday. Brisbane is in the firing line for the ECMWF, ACCESS and GFS models. Still a long way out but authorities will be worried. #TCAlbert #TropicalCyclone #QLDWeather #Brisbane

At least 880 NOAA employees were fired today with hundreds more expected as soon as Friday. Right as there's: 🔥 a red flag warning for most of Nebraska and Iowa 🌪️ severe weather season picking up next week in the South 🔥🔥 "significant" wildfire potential for the Southwest and Southeast next month

EMC is the Environmental Modelling Center; these are the folks that build (and I suspect more importantly maintain) the massively complex computer models that forecast weather and climate. www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/emc.php

To be clear: If there were to be large staffing reductions at NOAA and NWS—at appears is now indeed underway, with credible reports of larger further cuts on horizon—there will be people who die in extreme weather events & related disasters who would not have otherwise. 10/11

The thing I've found most disturbing about the Marty Sheargold episode (made plain on social media) is the extent of resentment bordering on hatred so many men in this country have for women. Scary. But still not as scary as the fact we've killed 113 of them in just over a year.

All things considered (especially as the AL is largely ignored by mainstream media), these figures aren’t too bad. A couple still need a lot of work, but these numbers would be the envy of large parts of Asia…which is where we are, not Europe…

AUSTRALIA MUST ENSURE OUR SOVEREIGNTY NOW: -Exit AUKUS & demand the return of all payments. -Stop sharing intelligence with the USA. -Demand the removal of all US troops & the closure of all US bases. -Deny ports facilities to US ships. -Stop purchasing US weapons. #auspol
