Here's the latest variant picture for Canada, to late November.

XFG.* "Stratus" continued to dominate, but fell to 67%.

NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" rose slightly to 18%.

XFV.* grew to 10% nationally, however all the recent samples are from Ontario and recent volumes are very low, so that could just be a cluster from a healthcare or aged care setting.

Amethyst sky this morning in Glastonbury. Photo taken about an hour before sunrise. It was such a vivid strange colour.



Here's the latest variant picture for the United Kingdom, to late November.

For the UK, BA.3.2.* "Cicada" is showing a strong growth advantage of 5% per day (35% per week) over XFG.* "Stratus", which predicts an imminent crossover.

To include the latest BA.3.2.* samples, I have rolled my reporting window forward an extra week. So the most recent data is even less representative than usual. The picture for those dates might change as more data is shared.

The recent sample volumes are heavily skewed towards Scotland, especially considering it’s smaller population.

Here's the latest variant picture for Europe (excluding the UK), to late November.

BA.3.2.* "Cicada" is showing a very strong growth advantage of 7.9% per day (55% per week) over XFG.* "Stratus", which predicts a crossover in late December.

To include the latest BA.3.2.* samples, I have rolled my reporting window forward an extra week or so. So the most recent data is even less representative than usual. The picture for those dates might change as more data is shared.

Here's a map showing the spread of the BA.3.2.* variant, focused on Europe.

Locations are approximate - typically country and state/province.
