The weather in South Florida has been fine with hot and humid conditions continuing. There is a chance of seeing some showers and an isolated storm favoring inland areas and Gulf coast due to a build breeze out of the East-Northeast. By Wednesday, temperatures will be nearing-record levels with highs in the low to mid 90’s as a front moves into North Florida. Late week a slot of drier air should limit showers from developing, but temporarily. Most models are showing deeper moisture getting trapped across South Florida with a front stalling over North-Central Florida this weekend. Therefore, it could turn wetter starting Friday.

Pirate’s life? Not for me, said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday — appearing without an eye patch for the first time in more than a week. Last week, Scholz injured his eye after he fell while out running. At the G20 summit in India over the weekend, his eye patch was apparently an icebreaker and a conversation starter for the likes of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, German media reported. After revealing the impact of his jogging mishap, one-eyed Scholz said he was “looking forward to the memes.” POLITICO hunted around online to find some of the funniest, but — important disclaimer! — our list features German humor.Who wore it better?
