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 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.

How can the JavaScript code be improved for better maintainability and performance?
It looks like you've shared a JavaScript snippet that handles the loading and initialization of various advertising scripts and services on a webpage. Below is an overview of what the code is doing, along with some suggestions for improvement and maintenance.
### Overview of the Script
1. **Removing AdSense for Mobile Ads**:
- If certain conditions are met, the script removes any existing AdSense ads that are designated for mobile.
2. **Count and Process AdSense Slots**:
- It counts all selectors for ads by Google and processes them in a loop, currently without any actions specified.
3. **Adman Integration**:
- The Adman library is queued for execution with an ad unit ID. However, the part where the script URL is loaded is incomplete.
4. **OneSignal Initialization**:
- Initializes OneSignal for push notifications using an app ID.
5. **Disqus Configuration**:
- Sets up a Disqus configuration for comments with a page URL (incomplete) and a unique identifier.
6. **Load Additional Scripts with Delays**:
- Scripts are loaded asynchronously with `asyncLoadScript` and `asyncLoadModule`, with some delaying mechanisms like `setTimeout`.
7. **Checking for Other Ad Integrations**:
- Various comments throughout the script indicate planned integrations with services like CleverCore, Taboola, Google AdSense, Glomex, and Vidoomy.
### Suggestions for Improvement
1. **Complete URLs & Logic**:
- Ensure that any incomplete URLs are filled in and that all sections of the script have proper logic implemented.
2. **Error Handling**:
- Implement error handling when loading scripts to catch and handle loading failures gracefully.
3. **Asynchronous Loading Optimization**:
- Consider using `Promise.all` for loading scripts asynchronously to improve performance and maintainability.
4. **Comment Cleanup**:
- Remove any commented-out code or properly document it to maintain clarity.
5. **Consistent Indentation**:
- Ensure consistent indentation for better readability.
6. **Configurable Parameters**:
- Externalize configuration parameters (like app IDs, identifiers) into a separate configuration object, making it easier to manage.
7. **Modular Structure**:
- Consider breaking the script into smaller functions or modules to enhance maintainability and clarity.
### Sample Improved Structure
Here's a simplified version of how you might organize some of this code:
```javascript
// Initialize Ad Services
function initAdvertising() {
const adSenseSlots = document.querySelectorAll('.adsbygoogle');
if (adSenseSlots.length) {
loadAdSenseScripts(adSenseSlots);
}
initAdman();
initOneSignal();
initDisqus();
}
// Load Google AdSense Ads
function loadAdSenseScripts(slots) {
slots.forEach(function(slot) {
// Load specific scripts for these slots
});
}
// Initialize Adman
function initAdman() {
window.AdmanQueue = window.AdmanQueue || [];
AdmanQueue.push(function() {
Adman.adunit({ id: 338, h: /* height value */ });
});
}
// Initialize OneSignal Notifications
function initOneSignal() {
window.OneSignalDeferred = window.OneSignalDeferred || [];
OneSignalDeferred.push(function(OneSignal) {
OneSignal.init({ appId: "487cc53b-3b66-4f84-8803-3a3a133043ab" });
});
}
// Configure Disqus for Comments
function initDisqus() {
var disqus_config = function () {
this.page.url = "desired_page_url"; // Set the page URL
this.page.identifier = 1564461;
};
setTimeout(function() {
var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = "disqus_script_url";
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
}, 3000);
}
// Example of invoking the initialization function
initAdvertising();
```
This structure makes it easier to maintain and add additional ad services in the future while improving readability. Feel free to expand upon or modify this structure based on your project requirements!
