Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Weather forecasts for Tuesday, September 15, show a wide range of conditions across several countries. In Mexico, forecasts vary by region: Mazatlán expects a 96 percent chance of rain with a high of 32.2 degrees Celsius, while Acapulco de Juárez anticipates a 55 percent chance of rain and a high of 32.6 degrees Celsius. Other Mexican cities include Puebla de Zaragoza with a 67 percent chance of rain and a high of 24.7 degrees Celsius, and Mérida with a 25 percent chance of rain and a high of 35.5 degrees Celsius. In Spain, Valencia is expected to be clear with a high of 33.4 degrees Celsius, while Zaragoza will see a high of 36.1 degrees Celsius and no rain. In Argentina, Punta Lara is forecast to have a high of 17 degrees Celsius and a low of 7 degrees Celsius with no rain. Meanwhile, in Brazil, meteorologists report that unstable weather will persist in the Center South region. This area has seen historic rainfall, with São Paulo recording its highest precipitation for the first 14 days of September since 1943. Experts attribute these conditions to a strong El Niño phenomenon, which typically increases rain in Southern Brazil and reduces it in the North.
