The Andes Mountains are engulfed in a major storm, with Valle Nevado sitting in the heart of the action. The famous Chilean ski area has received over 43" of snow in the last five days, with 32" falling in the last 24 hours as of 9 AM MST August 22, according to Open Snow.

"It was a wild Wednesday night, and it got even more hectic on Thursday as winds picked up," said Open Snow meteorologist Luke Stone. "The second phase of the storm began on Thursday night as the cold front moved across the Andes with more heavy snow. The storm should linger through Friday afternoon before tapering off overnight."

Our friends from the Montana-based Entourage crew are boots on the ground and were some of the lucky individuals who woke up to multiple feet of snow blanketing the parking lot. While much of the resort skiing remains closed, there are always other opportunities. "Backcountry conditions are dicey, so we're looking to hit a street spot and wait for the chance to head into the mountains," said filmer Jack Price.

A rare waterspout outbreak occurred over the Baltic Sea on August 21, 2025, producing at least 12 waterspouts off the coast of Poland and 8 off Denmark, including one sighting of eight simultaneous funnels.

A rare outbreak of waterspouts was reported over the Baltic Sea on August 21, with multiple independent observers documenting at least 20 funnels. Reports confirmed 12 waterspouts off Poland and 8 off Denmark, including a Danish observer who recorded eight aligned simultaneously.

The event was documented by the International Centre for Waterspout Research (ICWR), which tracks and archives global waterspout activity. Such outbreaks are defined as days with multiple waterspouts in close temporal and spatial proximity.

Climatological classifications distinguish between small outbreaks (5 - 9 waterspouts per day), moderate outbreaks (10 - 19), and large outbreaks (20 or more). Based on available data, the August 21 event qualifies as a large outbreak.

A spectacular 'cap de fibló'—a rare waterspout phenomenon—was spotted this morning by residents in the Calvia area, as towering cloud formations painted a dramatic sky over Mallorca. Eyewitnesses described the scene as "breathtaking" and "like something out of a disaster movie."

The island has been put on high alert this Friday, with authorities warning of heavy rain and severe storms, particularly from midday onwards. By the afternoon, the downpours—which have already battered Menorca—are expected to lash Mallorca, bringing localised flooding in low-lying areas.

Temperatures are predicted to remain largely unchanged, according to the Balearic branch of AEMET, while the wind will blow lightly from variable directions, accompanied by coastal breezes.

Authorities asked the population not to approach the mammal due to health risks.

Yesterday, Monday, August 18th, a whale appeared on the shores of Playas de Tijuana, near lifeguard station number 14, in the section known as Jardines, around 2:00 PM. The sighting attracted the attention of residents and visitors to the area.

In response to the mammal's presence, authorities urged citizens not to approach it due to the risks it poses, as the body could suffer a natural explosion due to the buildup of gases, in addition to the possibility of transmitting infections.

On August 19, personnel from the Federal Attorney's Office for Environmental Protection (Profepa) and the Municipal Secretariat of Urban Development visited the site to coordinate the corresponding work.
