Tomorrow, one of the year's biggest tides reaches Ireland. Tuesday is an equinox spring tide: Dublin's high water at 01:18, and by mid-morning the sea has drained almost four metres below it. Every shore going dry here is real seabed, one lunar day in 20 seconds. #Ireland #tides

Every river in mainland Spain and Portugal, drawn only by its own water, every day since Jan 2025. The peninsula breathes: about 890 m³/s to the sea at the summer low, 33,600 at the Feb 2026 peak, a 38-fold swing. Discharge: GloFAS (Copernicus/ECMWF). #rivers #Spain

The Torre de Hércules at A Coruña is a lighthouse the Romans built. Almost 1,900 years old and still lit tonight, the oldest working lighthouse in the world. Every light on the Spanish coast keeps its own rhythm, so a sailor can tell one from the next in the dark. #Spain

Two points on the same Pacific coast. One gets close to 14 metres of rain a year. The other gets 2 millimetres: Colombia's Pacific shore, and the Atacama north of Antofagasta. Three years of daily rain across South America. CHIRPS v3.0, 5 km. #SouthAmerica #rainfall

Every light here is a real navigational light on Mexico's coasts, blinking the pattern the Mexican Navy publishes for it. Two seas lit: the Pacific from Baja California to Chiapas, and the Gulf of Mexico round the Yucatán to the Caribbean. #mexico #lighthouse #faro
