Nationwide helium shortage could deflate accuracy in weather forecasting

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A key tool that helps meteorologists predict weather conditions will soon be limited due to a nationwide helium shortage.The National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Florida, said they will be switching from twice-daily weather balloon launches to once per day in the morning beginning March 1. However, if significant weather conditions develop, they will have the ability to launch additional weather balloons.The reduction of launches will have no impact on severe weather operations, the NWS said, or their ability to warn on dangerous storms.NWS offices across the country typically launch weather balloons twice a day, once around 7-8 a.m.

COVID-19: Manitoba organizations keeping health mandates in place, despite rules loosening

arts venue says they’ll be following the province’s suggestion.Starting Tuesday, Manitoba will no longer require places like restaurants, gyms and concert venues to check for vaccine proof.However, places like the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra says they’ll be taking matters in to their own hands.“If you look at our audience, they do tend to be a little on the older side, many of them over 45 over 55, so they feel like they’re in that age bracket where it puts them at a high risk,” says Ryan Diduck, the senior director of public engagement with Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.The WSO says they’ll be temporarily keeping vaccine and mask requirements in place until at least the end of March. They also say they plan on keeping their capacity at 50 per cent until the current season ends in mid-May.“We’ve listened to our patrons and decided to keep these in place until a least the end of march,” he says.It’s a decision that lawyers say is acceptable.

The Libertines share update on Pete Doherty’s health, confirm London shows will go ahead

The Libertines have updated fans on the status of Pete Doherty‘s health, and have confirmed that tonight’s (February 25) show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town will go ahead.The band were forced to pull out of their Bristol date yesterday, after the co-frontman “developed a high fever and shortness of breath”.A doctor was called to his aide, and although he tested negative for COVID-19, he was diagnosed with an unspecified “respiratory infection which [required] immediate treatment”. He was advised not to take part in last night’s show “under any circumstances”, leading to its cancellation.Though The Libertines are yet to advise Bristol fans on when (or if) their gig will be rescheduled, they posted on Instagram earlier today that Doherty’s treatment has thus far been successful, and that he “has been allowed to travel to London today and tonight’s show will therefore go ahead”.A post shared by The Libertines (@thelibertines)“Our sincere apologies go to everyone who had tickets for Bristol, especially after all the disruption already caused by the pandemic,” they wrote. “We want to thank our fans for being so understanding and all the good wishes Peter has received.”The Libertines are currently wrapping up their rescheduled ‘Giddy Up A Ding-Dong Tour’, with London slated as the last stop.
