With climate change, problems related to water scarcity will only get worse in the coming years, and this will inevitably have a significant impact on many technologies that rely on water, such as nuclear power plants that use water to cool reactors, then there's also overheating in northern France three reactors at the large Gravelines plant were shut down due to an unusual proliferation of jellyfish. Often hydroelectric plant operators are forced to produce little energy because of the reduced flow of the rivers that feed the turbines, then there's the question of how the operation of large data centers under construction which require huge amounts of water to cool processors will be ensured when sometimes there's not even enough water to irrigate the fields.

According to health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus is spreading quickly (with record-high rates compared to previous cases) and there are over two thousand deaths due to delays in monitoring the first infections, conflicts, limited resources in the healthcare system and insecurity in the affected areas that makes it harder for health workers to trace contacts; nearly four thousand four hundred confirmed cases across five provinces. To report switching topics but staying on health issues the life of children in Somalia is at risk, especially in the southwest of the country, due to malnutrition caused by severe drought with repeated poor rainy seasons and lost harvests.

There are reportedly over two hundred and twenty victims of the 7.4-magnitude earthquake that shook western Colombia, it's being called the strongest quake of the twenty-first century in the country with the epicenter in the Choco region (about four hundred kilometers west of Bogotá) and was followed by several aftershocks, hundreds of buildings were damaged and many people were trapped under the rubble. Rescuers are searching for missing people among the debris for example in the city of Cali, the third largest in the country, particularly affected by the quake passing pieces of cement and other materials hand to hand. To report on another note but still on natural issues the severe drought in France with over seventy percent of the territory suffering and crops damaged due to the low availability of water resources, cornfields have practically been burned up by the heat and another heatwave is hitting the country.

After hitting Okinawa Prefecture in Japan causing six injuries and cutting electricity to fifty thousand users a typhoon with wind gusts exceeding one hundred sixty kilometers per hour (category two) is already battering the east coast of China. There is one reported death and disruptions due to torrential rainfall. Authorities who have already declared a state of alert have evacuated those most at risk [one milion], then flooding is expected from heavy rains in the metropolis of Shanghai and there is a high hydrogeological risk in Zhejiang with evacuation warnings for people living on higher ground. The integrity of water reservoirs, rivers and mountain streams is being monitored, then areas that could be prone to landslides, including construction sites and tourist locations.

The average temperatures recorded in July would have broken all previous records, then the forecasts for 2026 are not very reassuring as it could be a really hot year too, partly because of the influence of the global current "El Nino". Among the consequences of high temperatures for example there’s the case of the Rhine River running dry which forces barges to navigate with minimal load at much higher costs, Danube is also running low weakening hydroelectric and nuclear power plants so much that in some cities night lighting has been reduced. Some point out that thirty years ago the grape harvest started at the end of September and went on until November but now it starts in August and in general all crops are severely affected by the weather with many farmers suffering from psychological stress.

Temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea are reaching up to thirty-three degrees Celsius often with complaints from holidaymakers who can't even take a refreshing swim on the scorching beaches, then the high energy accumulated by the sea could be released in the form of tropical storms and Mediterranean hurricanes (so-called Medicanes) causing massive waves that erode coasts and damage infrastructures built along the shore, not to mention the harm to marine biodiversity. Various temperature records have been reported like in Austria with over forty-one degrees in the village of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg near the Slovakian border, country with peaks over forty-two in Dolne Plachtince in the south, then the stifling heat in the city of Skopje in Macedonia.

Temperatures in all twenty-seven monitored cities used to determine the heat risk threshold are at red alert levels, in some cases there are even spikes approaching forty degrees Celsius due to the fourth African heatwave, but the perceived temperature can be higher as happened yesterday in Rome where a well-known religious celebration was not held outdoors in the square because of thirty-eight degrees Celsius with a perceived temperature of around forty-two degrees. Tropical nights bring significant discomfort and poor sleep hygiene and not enabling the body from recovering energy. Severe drought in Piedmont has led to a state of emergency also due to fires, with the Po River and almost all watercourses running dry, causing distress to crops, especially rice.

Apparently over eighty percent of young people in Australia who were banned from using social networks still manage to access their accounts claiming that there are no controls or that there are ways to bypass the restrictions. Maybe as some suggest the problem often lies in the bad example of parents who generally spend long periods of time on these questionable social network apps that have psychological reward-like mechanisms making their use appealing. To report changing the topic but still sticking to tech themes the news about a piece of space debris that is about to fall on the Moon; from an ecological point of view it’s a bad example of how humans could pollute other planets.

From aerial views it appears that between seven hundred and eleven hundred structures were burned and reduced to ashes by the flames in Spokane in the state of Washington in the northwest United States, it's being called the worst natural disaster in what is the second-largest city in this state with sixty-five thousand people forced to leave their homes. Firefighters have made some progress in tackling the fires fueled by drought, extreme heat and strong winds; basically there were three fire fronts that merged into a single front burning over three thousand two hundred hectares in the Spokane area. Authorities had already declared a state of emergency in recent days with the first fires given the really unfavorable conditions with four consecutive years of drought, unusually high temperatures and strong gusts of wind; then the winter in the state had been on average very warm with record values.

Due to climate change fires are becoming increasingly uncontrollable and some wonder if this is becoming an unhealthy normality, for example there are talks about fires that fuel themselves through a phenomenon like the so-called pyrocumulonimbus eruptions, which are like clouds with scorching vortices and large amounts of water vapor that rise into the atmosphere, generated by the fires themselves, which then collapse bringing ash and burning debris to the ground along with gusts of wind that spread the fires in all directions. Even a small fire can cause a disaster, so the territory should be monitored (with personnel trained to extinguish the first outbreaks, cameras, drones..) to intervene in the early stages. To report recently that there were two victims in Greece due to the collision of two firefighting helicopters west of Athens.
