From seven to ten degrees. now, that weather front will continue to sink its way steadily southwards, but as it bumps into that area of high pressure, it loses its intensity. by thursday morning, itll be a band of cloud, just clearing away from the south—east, and then behind it, more sunshine returns. a north—westerly wind driving in a few showers into the far north of scotland, some of these turning increasingly wintry to higher ground. top temperatures on thursday between seven and nine c...

But the winds continue to strengthen, particularly in the far north—west. gale force, perhaps severe gales at times, gusts in excess of 70mph. thats strong enough to cause some disruption, and there will be some rain by the end of the day. temperatures ranging from 7 to 10 degrees. now, that weather front will continue to sink its way steadily southwards, but as it bumps into that area of high pressure, it loses its intensity. by thursday morning, itll be a band of cloud just clearing away fro...

The latest bit of the cloud is about to come down to earth. its huge, its two storeys high. it uses massive amounts of electricity. the plan is for a 145—acre site full of computers. the developers say its sustainable, but local campaigners say it will use as much power as 200,000 homes. its completely unsustainable to continue on this path of growth, growth, growth, and especially with data centres who use an awful lot of fossil fuel energy at the moment, as well as water, and those are very ...

14% of the countrys electricity. if the rise in data centres goes unchecked, then by 2030, 30% of all of irelands power will go into the cloud. its disputed by the industry, but as a rough comparison, research suggests a five—minute internet search uses around as much energy as boiling a kettle for a cup of tea. somewhere, theres a machine that is doing all the analysis of the data and all the indexing, which allows the search to be then done rapidly. theres machinery under the surface doing t...
