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 Fragioulidis, 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 December average 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 benefits of using asynchronous script loading for ad services in JavaScript?
It looks like you're working with a JavaScript snippet that involves the management of various ad scripts and configuration for services like Google AdSense, Adman, OneSignal, Disqus, and others. Here’s a summary of what the provided code appears to be doing, along with some improvements you might consider implementing.
### Summary of Operations
1. **Adsense for Mobile Handling**:
- It removes existing AdSense ads if certain conditions are not met.
2. **AdSense Slots**:
- Counts the number of AdSense slots present in the document and presumably attempts to load them asynchronously.
3. **Phaistos Adman**:
- Seems to queue up the Adman ad unit to be initialized later in the process.
4. **OneSignal Initialization**:
- Sets up the OneSignal push notification service with a provided app ID.
5. **Disqus Configuration**:
- Configures Disqus to manage comments on the page, with an identifier for the page.
6. **CleverCore**:
- There's commented-out code that hints at loading a `CleverCore` script that is intended to be loaded asynchronously.
7. **Other Ad Services**:
- Other service integrations are either partially shown or commented out, indicating they may be asynchronous as well.
### Improvements to Consider
- **Complete Async Script Loading**:
Ensure that you replace the commented-out async load functions with actual scripts or placeholders specifying the proper URLs where these scripts are to be downloaded.
- **Error Handling**:
Consider adding error handling for script loading via `script.onerror` to ensure that users or developers are notified if a script fails to load.
- **Validation**:
When checking for elements, make sure to validate the presence of essential attributes and handle cases where the expected DOM structure may be altered or not loaded correctly.
- **Comment Clarity**:
Make sure to document each section thoroughly, especially the hard-to-understand sections about async script loading.
- **Performance Optimization**:
Consider only loading scripts critical for initial rendering first, while deferring non-essential ones to improve page load performance.
### Example Code Snippet Adjustment
Here is a simple example modification based on your requirements:
```javascript
// Function to load scripts asynchronously
function asyncLoadScript(src) {
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = src;
script.async = true;
script.onload = () => console.log(`Script loaded: ${src}`);
script.onerror = () => console.error(`Script failed to load: ${src}`);
(document.head || document.body).appendChild(script);
}
// Example of loading AdSense only if there are relevant slots
if (document.querySelectorAll('.adsbygoogle').length > 0) {
asyncLoadScript('https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js');
}
// OneSignal initialization
window.OneSignalDeferred = window.OneSignalDeferred || [];
OneSignalDeferred.push(function(OneSignal) {
OneSignal.init({
appId: "487cc53b-3b66-4f84-8803-3a3a133043ab",
});
});
// Conditional loading for Disqus
if (typeof DISQUS !== 'undefined') {
var disqus_config = function() {
this.page.url = window.location.href;
this.page.identifier = '1564461';
};
setTimeout(function() {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.src = 'https://your-disqus-subdomain.disqus.com/embed.js';
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(document.head || document.body).appendChild(s);
}, 3000);
}
```
In your adjustments, ensure to replace placeholder URLs with the actual script locations.
