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 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. Temperature variations on a daily and local basis due to the influence of all kinds of weather systems may differ significantly from the average monthly variation over a wider area.

What is the purpose of using setTimeout in JavaScript for loading external scripts?
It appears you have pasted a JavaScript code snippet related to ad management and script loading. To provide some insights or improvements based on your code, here are a few observations and suggestions:
1. **Script Loading Management**:
- The code includes several `asyncLoadScript` calls, which seem to be placeholders for loading external scripts. Ensure that these functions are well-defined and handle any potential errors during script loading gracefully.
2. **Consistent and Clean Structure**:
- The code could benefit from consistent indentation and comment structures to improve readability. Make sure that comments accurately describe what each block of code is meant to do.
3. **Remove Unused Code**:
- There are several lines that begin with `//asyncLoadScript('` which appear to be commented out. If these lines aren't needed, consider removing them to clean up the code.
4. **Dynamic Script Loading**:
- A proper implementation of `asyncLoadScript` should include callback functions that execute after the script loads successfully. Consider including error handling to catch cases where the script fails to load.
5. **Ad Management Logic**:
- Ensure that the logic for managing ads (like removing certain elements based on conditions) is thoroughly tested across different scenarios. For instance, the condition that removes elements with the class `.adsense-for-mobile` should be relevant to the context in which this script runs.
6. **Timeout Usage**:
- Be careful with `setTimeout` usage. Using hardcoded timeouts (like `3000` or `2000` milliseconds) can result in inconsistent behavior if scripts take longer to load. Consider using event listeners or callbacks that trigger when the resource is completely loaded.
7. **Accessibility and Performance**:
- Consider the performance impact of loading multiple scripts sequentially, especially if they are heavy. Use tools like Lighthouse to assess the impact on page load time and user experience.
8. **Global Variables**:
- You declare global variables like `window.AdmanQueue` and `window.OneSignalDeferred`. Ensure these variables are properly managed to avoid conflicts with other scripts that might be loaded on the page.
9. **Clear Separation of Concerns**:
- Modularize the script for better maintainability. Create distinct functions for initializing each ad service or feature to ensure they can be independently managed and updated.
Here’s a refined version of the structure for better readability and maintainability:
```javascript
// Remove unwanted ads for mobile
if (shouldRemoveAds) {
document.querySelectorAll('.adsense-for-mobile').forEach(function(e) {
e.querySelector('.adsbygoogle').remove();
});
}
// Initialize AdSense
const adSenseSlots = document.querySelectorAll('.adsbygoogle');
if (adSenseSlots.length > 0) {
adSenseSlots.forEach(function(e) {
// Place logic to handle ad slots
});
}
// Phaistos Adman
window.AdmanQueue = window.AdmanQueue || [];
AdmanQueue.push(function() {
Adman.adunit({ id: 338, h: '...' }); // Fill in height or any other necessary parameters
});
// OneSignal Setup
window.OneSignalDeferred = window.OneSignalDeferred || [];
OneSignalDeferred.push(function(OneSignal) {
OneSignal.init({ appId: "487cc53b-3b66-4f84-8803-3a3a133043ab" });
});
// Disqus Configuration
var disqus_config = function() {
this.page.url = "YOUR_PAGE_URL"; // Fill in your page URL
this.page.identifier = 1564461; // Unique identifier for the page
};
setTimeout(function() {
var d = document,
s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = "YOUR_DISQUS_SCRIPT_SOURCE"; // Disqus script source
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
}, 3000);
// Additional Advertising Modules (like CleverCore, Taboola, etc.) can be initialized here...
function cmpActionCompleted() {
// Logic for handling completion of any necessary actions
asyncLoadScript('YOUR_SCRIPT_SOURCE'); // Fill in the appropriate script source
// Further async load or initialization code
}
```
Make sure to replace placeholder strings with the actual URLs or identifiers needed. Also, thoroughly test your script in different environments to ensure compatibility and performance.
