9 h. ago Weatherwatch: year’s worth of rain falls in Argentinian city in eight hours

Rainfall in Bahía Blanca led to 10 deaths, swept away vehicles, destroyed bridges and left areas under waterThe city of Bahía Blanca in Argentina had a new rainfall record on Friday, after a recent heatwave. More than 400mm of rain was recorded in just eight hours, more than twice the city’s previous record of 175mm set in 1930, and roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of rainfall.The heatwave primed the atmosphere for heavy rainfall by creating high instability and raising humidity levels. Then on Friday, as a cold front swept across the region, this warm moist air was able to rise, cool and rapidly condense, leading to severe thunderstorms across the region. As the front then continued northwards towards Buenos Aires over the weekend, further severe storms were triggered, containing heavy rain, hail, and strong gusts. Continue reading...

61 h. ago Come for the views, stay for the cheese and wine: spring in France’s Massif Central

With volcanic peaks, wild flowers and hot springs, the Cantal region is the perfect destination for a springtime road tripGetting away from it all is surely the idea behind every holiday, yet as I drive through undulating countryside towards the village of Salers in France’s Massif Central, I wonder whether I’ve ever felt quite so away from everything.This is the appeal of the Cantal, the rural heartland of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in which the Massif Central is nestled. If you continue east from the Dordogne and Lot, you’ll discover a land of volcanic peaks, hot springs and welcoming auberges in one of France’s least populated departments. And, as I learn, it makes for a refreshingly different destination for a springtime road trip. The snow lingers on those peaks until early April, but I’m here in early May and the meadows abound in an extraordinary display of wildflowers, such as arnica, narcissi, orchids and myriad other species that thrive in that vo...

Midfielder sustained serious knee injury in September‘Maybe in the Premier League, it’s going to happen’Rodri could be back in action before the end of the Premier League season according to the Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola.The Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder, who was initially ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage in September, returned to individual training this week. While Rodri has spoken optimistically of playing again this term, Guardiola has been far more cautious, suggesting it was not worth the risk even if possible. Continue reading...

9 d. ago Manchester City survive early scare to beat Plymouth via O’Reilly’s double

Manchester City are in a period of transition, requiring the new and the old to avoid an FA Cup shock at the hands of Plymouth Argyle. The academy graduate Nico O’Reilly scored two headers before the club’s most-decorated outfield player, Kevin De Bruyne, ended the resistance.Plymouth could not have done more as they fought to contain City, even taking a shock lead through Maksym Talovierov but a happy ending never looked likely. The Premier League champions were made to toil by the well-drilled Pilgrims, who will rue conceding from two set pieces. Continue reading...

9 d. ago A rare slip by genius Guardiola is the cause of Manchester City’s slump

After head coach’s failure to recognise the need to upgrade an ageing squad last summer, the FA Cup is their last hopeIn Manchester City having only the FA Cup to chase we see the product of the club’s failed summer recruitment, ill fortune with injury and the ravage of time to a core of Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering squad.While Julián Álvarez’s club-record £81.5m sale to Atlético Madrid in the close season bulged transfer coffers, only Savinho was recruited for £30m, alongside the return of the now 34-year-old Ilkay Gündogan for free, as Guardiola decided no major replenishment was needed.

1 week ago Manchester City back into top four as Haaland goal enough to beat Spurs

For 45 minutes, it was tempting to wonder where this version of Manchester City had been hiding? They were energetic and incisive, threatening to tear Tottenham apart. Erling Haaland was back in the line-up after a knee injury and his 20th goal of the Premier League season – and 28th overall – was scant reward for their control.City’s previous visit to this stadium had brought a Carabao Cup exit and it is remarkable to consider how they have fared since then. Before kick-off here and taking in that defeat, their record showed 14 losses in 27 matches in all competitions. They looked set to make a more coherent statement. Continue reading...
