According to the long-term forecasts, cited by the meteorologist, Costas Lagouvardos, “the coming December is expected to be warmer than normal in Southeast Europe (including Greece) according to the long-term forecasts issued in November”.
Mr. Lagouvardos in collaboration with Giorgos Fragioulides, make a first long-term forecast for the average temperature of December 2024.
“Specifically, the most likely scenarios are deviations of the order of 0℃ – 1℃ (26%) and 1℃ – 2℃ (23%), while the probability of average temperature deviations of more than 2℃ is 23%. Finally, there is a 28% chance that we will have a below normal average temperature.
Lagouvardou’s entire post
From the announcement we prepared with my colleague Georgios Fragkoulidis
Warmer than normal is expected to be next December in SE Europe (including Greece) according to long-term forecasts issued in November. As shown in the graph below, according to 72% of the available scenarios the average December temperature will be higher than normal for the season (reference period: 1993-2016).
In particular, the most likely scenarios are deviations of the order of 0-1 °C (26%) and 1-2 °C (23%), while the probability of average temperature deviations of more than 2 °C is 23%. Finally, there is a 28% chance that we will have a below normal average temperature.
This forecast is based on a total of 350 possible scenarios from the following forecast centers: ECMWF (Europe), UKMO (United Kingdom), Meteo-France (France), JMA (Japan), NCEP (USA), DWD (Germany) and CMCC ( Italy), as provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European Commission.
It is emphasized that long-term forecasts are characterized by great uncertainty and aim to estimate the trend in the monthly and seasonal evolution of average weather conditions. Variations in temperature on a daily and local basis due to the influence of all kinds of weather systems may differ significantly from the average variation of a month over a wider area.

What are the best practices for optimizing asynchronous loading of ad scripts in JavaScript?
It seems like you've provided a snippet of JavaScript code that deals with loading various ad scripts, initializing services, and managing asynchronous loading of different advertising and engagement platforms (like Google AdSense, OneSignal, Disqus, and others). The code appears to be incomplete and includes placeholders and commented-out sections. Here’s an overview of what your code appears to be doing and some recommendations for improvements:
### Overview of Key Components
1. **AdSense Management**:
- The code removes existing `.adsbygoogle` elements if they are found within `.adsense-for-mobile` elements.
- It initializes new AdSense slots and prepares them for asynchronous loading.
2. **Advertising Services Queue**:
- The code setups up the `AdmanQueue` for another advertising service.
3. **OneSignal Initialization**:
- The OneSignal service is initialized with a specific `appId`.
4. **Disqus Integration**:
- It sets a timeout to load the Disqus comment system, with page URL and identifier configuration.
5. **Asynchronous Loading**:
- There are several commented lines that suggest implementation of asynchronous script loading for various ad networks such as CleverCore, Taboola, Phaistos Adman, Glomex, and Vidoomy.
### Potential Improvements and Considerations
1. **Fill in the Gaps**:
- The provided code has many sections with incomplete URLs or comments (`asyncLoadScript('`). Make sure to replace these placeholders with actual script source URLs.
2. **Error Handling**:
- Consider adding error handling when loading scripts to manage any failures gracefully.
3. **Code Optimization**:
- Use variable names that are more descriptive to improve readability, especially for variables like `e`.
4. **Modular Code**:
- Group related functions together or break them out into separate functions or modules. This improves maintainability.
5. **Concurrency**:
- Review the usage of `setTimeout` for loading scripts. Excessive use may slow down the page; instead, consider loading scripts concurrently when possible.
6. **Commenting**:
- Remove unnecessary comments or better document the intent behind each segment of the code to enhance clarity.
7. **Testing**:
- Thoroughly test the integration with different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility, especially for asynchronous loading.
### Example of Improved Structure
Here’s a simplified structural example that demonstrates better organization:
```javascript
function initializeAds() {
const adSenseSlots = document.querySelectorAll('.adsbygoogle');
if (adSenseSlots.length) {
adSenseSlots.forEach(slot => {
// Load Adsense script here
asyncLoadScript('URL_TO_ADSENSE_SCRIPT');
});
}
}
function initializeOneSignal() {
window.OneSignalDeferred = window.OneSignalDeferred || [];
OneSignalDeferred.push(function(OneSignal) {
OneSignal.init({ appId: "487cc53b-3b66-4f84-8803-3a3a133043ab" });
});
}
function initializeDisqus() {
var disqus_config = function() {
this.page.url = window.location.href; // Replace with your page's canonical URL variable
this.page.identifier = 1564461; // Replace with your page's unique identifier variable
};
setTimeout(() => {
const d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = 'URL_TO_DISQUS_SCRIPT'; // ensure to replace with the correct script source
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
}, 3000);
}
// Call initialization functions
initializeAds();
initializeOneSignal();
initializeDisqus();
```
This structured approach provides better readability, modularization, and future scalability. Implement similar restructuring for additional ad management scripts as needed.
