GBP Fluctuations Through Prism of Brexit Turns

GBP Fluctuations Through Prism of Brexit Turns
Bloomberg’s John Ainger and Sam Dodge offer a look at the ups and downs of the British pound market value over the course of Theresa May’s reign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the context of “the twists and turns of the Brexit process.” See sterling’s peaks and troughs explained, featuring an interesting illustration of what the authors call “May’s turbulent leadership.”

EU Election in Britain

EU Election in Britain
Because Brexit was delayed, the United Kingdom took part in the new European Parliament election in late May. Michael Ovaska and Samuel Granados, graphics editors at Reuters, visually represent the outcome for Britain. Check out how the Brexit Party won, compare the results to the preceding EU election, find out how the voter turnout was different from other votings, and explore how the results look in the context of positions on Brexit and how the new UK seats will shape the European Parliament.

Marine Heatwave Tracker

Marine Heatwave Tracker
Developed by Robert Schlegel, a post-doc researcher in the Department of Oceanography at Canada’s Dalhousie University, within the framework of the Marine Heatwaves International Working Group initiative, the Marine Heatwave Tracker project displays the occurrence of marine heatwaves (MHWs) around the world in about real time. An MHW usually defines when for at least five days in a row the temperature in a certain location is warmer than 90% of the temperatures previously observed in that location during the same time of year. While exploring the map, do not miss out on the opportunity to click a pixel in order to view a time-series chart showing the change of the temperatures in the corresponding location over any time period between present and January 1, 1982.
