It’s fair to say that this has been an awful season so far for Ajax, as they are currently languishing in 15th place in the Eredivisie, just above the relegation zone. Their displays on the pitch have been bad enough, but the bad mood around the club was reinforced when their fans forced a recent match against Feyenoord to be abandoned, with their team already 3-0 down to their rivals, followed by riots around the stadium.

A new horrific death inside the Alabama Department of Corrections caught the attention of national media this week. Daniel Williams, 22, died after suffering days of abuse, hard for some to comprehend inside a maximum-security prison.

This post is the Alaska-focused August climate summary. Once the ERA5 reanalysis is available (and I get back from some work travel), I’ll have the Arctic review for August and a summer 2023 review. August was a mild month over much of Alaska, but especially over the Interior and North Slope, with average temperature departures from the 1991-2020 average shown in Fig. 1. For a few long term climate sites in the extreme eastern Interior, this was the warmest August on record, most notably Northway, where the August average temperature was 60.
