Fires in Spain and drought in some Italian regions After burning about twenty-nine thousand hectares of vegetation the fire near La Mierla spreading very quickly in Guadalajara seems to have slowed down, with the town of Barcones evacuated due to the scorching heat and other areas affected by the smoke from the fires under attention. The huge fire, one of the largest to occur in Spain in terms of size, required intense coordination by the fire crews to keep it within control and slow its spread. In Italy there's talk of low levels of the Po River which forces the use of water trucks in some areas no longer sufficiently supplied by the main river causing trouble for crops, and then also drought in the Grosseto area in Tuscany region resulting in difficulties for farmers managing water resources. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 22/07/2026

 Earthquake in the Andes in Peru There are reportedly at least six victims, over thirty injured and three hundred people evacuated due to a 5.5 magnitude earthquake at a depth of ten kilometers with its epicenter about two kilometers southwest of the city of Sicaya in the province of Huancayo. Authorities have stated that the number of missing people is not yet known, several buildings have collapsed or suffered structural damage including the local church and a convent; there is also talk of rather inadequate materials being used in construction. In 2007 a 7.9 magnitude earthquake shook the province of Pisco causing nearly six hundred victims. To report shifting attention to Italy in Sardinia over a thousand hectares of vegetation have gone up in smoke due to fires fueled by temperatures well over forty degrees Celsius, and then in Sicily inland areas of the region reached forty-seven degrees. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 20/07/2026 n: 6311 Bad weather in some Italy regions with damage and disruptions Strong thunderstorms have hit some regions due to high temperatures and the resulting energy accumulated in the atmosphere from an African heatwave that is still affecting the whole country (with peaks well above forty degrees in Sardinia). There is talk of one victim in Emilia Romagna region due to weather-related causes and disruptions for the population, as well as damage like roofs being blown off, overturned cars and uprooted trees. To report switching topics but staying on environmental issues there is concern about the storage conditions of thousands of barrels containing radioactive waste in the northeastern Atlantic from European countries, about six hundred kilometers east of the French coast at a depth of over four thousand meters on the seabed and cemented; indeed, limited traces of radioactivity have been detected that require monitoring. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 16/07/2026 n: 6308 Wildfires in France and Italy A fire in the Fontainebleau forest south of Paris (sixty kilometers southeast) burned about eight hundred hectares of vegetation, the flames spread unusually fast, helped by high temperatures during yet another heatwave in the country; then there were also traffic problems with a partial closure of a very busy highway during the summer holidays. About fifteen houses were evacuated in the village of Vaudoue with firefighters working to prevent the fire from reaching other settlements. In Italy seven to eight hundred hectares of vegetation burned in Piedmont, and in Ossola there was serious damage to biodiversity in Val Grande Park with two hundred hectares of forest destroyed. To report changing the subject but still on environmental issues that recently in eastern China authorities evacuated nearly two million people and suspended transport for a typhoon, then without casualties. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 13/07/2026 n: 6305 Forest fire in Andalusia in Spain At least twelve people are reported dead, nineteen missing and over one thousand people displaced due to a forest fire near Los Gallardos in a municipality of Almeria, it is the most serious fire in a decade in Andalusia in terms of human casualties; there are reports of people trapped in their cars as the rapidly advancing flames surrounded them and smoke has hampered traffic on many roads even causing congestion on a highway. The fall of a power line seems to be the triggering cause of the fire, at least according to initial investigations, then the rather dry vegetation helped the flames spread quickly. To report on a related note but staying with natural events a cloudburst in India caused a pile of accumulated waste which had formed almost like a small hill to collapse in the city of Pimpri Chinchvad resulting in at least three deaths and some missing people. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 10/07/2026 n: 6303 Better face the emergency in Venezuela After the complaints of the population for the disorganization in distributing the aid and setting up the shelters the Venezuelan authorities would be intent on better dealing with the emergency caused by the earthquake with special staff, in the meantime the death toll has increased to over three thousand three hundred people with sixteen thousand injured and seventeen thousand homeless. Some speak of the distrust of the earthquake victims to see a future in a country already for some time in the grip of economic crises and poor management of resources and which now also finds itself with this epochal disaster. There was no lack of gestures of solidarity of the rescuers engaged in extracting from the rubble of the survivors risking their lives as happened for example in the port city of La Guaira that is located north of the capital Caracas particularly affected by the devastation caused by the earthquake. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 06/07/2026 n: 6299 Organization with shortages for the earthquake in Venezuela The Venezuelan population affected by the earthquake judged to be among the most disastrous in Latin American history complains of disorganization in the distribution of basic necessities for example in Caracas to the point of suffering from hunger, then missing shelters and rescue points for basic needs while the death toll is more than two thousand people (some say almost three thousand) with eleven thousand injured and tens of thousands missing. Rescuers were mobilized by many countries and remarkable the news of a three-year-old boy extracted alive from the rubble after six days [also a man after eight]. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the high cost for households calculated in Italy to face the heat wave due mainly to the high cost on average of electricity compared to other European countries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 02/07/2026 n: 6296 Rescuers dig through rubble in Venezuela looking for survivors Rescue workers continue to pull people alive from the rubble in Venezuela after the strong double earthquake hit a country already in economic crisis. Reports say the death toll has risen to over fourteen hundred people and is still increasing amid controversies among the population, frustrated due to the lack of machinery for digging and equipment to locate buried bodies, forced to use improvised tools (experts usually say the first seventy-two hours are the most crucial for saving lives). To report on a different note but still on natural issues that international organizations report that there would have been thirteen hundred additional deaths in Europe due to the heat, France appears to be among the countries most affected by the African heatwave. In Germany a record of over forty-one degrees Celsius was reached near the city of Saarbruecken close the French border. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 29/06/2026 n: 6293 Venezuela in trouble after the strong earthquake The death toll would have risen to over nine hundred with at least three thousand three hundred injured after the strong double quake with aftershocks and a seismic swarm that hit Venezuela, then estimates regarding missing people also speak of tens of thousands of cases (perhaps fifty thousand) and for the authorities the situation is disastrous while rescuers are pulling many people alive from the rubble of numerous collapsed buildings. To report on a different note but still on natural issues that researchers warn that a heatwave like the one currently hitting Europe would have been practically impossible fifty years ago and it's estimated that back then a similar extreme phenomenon would have been less intense by three and a half degrees Celsius, there are reports of two hundred victims in Spain due to causes related to the scorching heat. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 26/06/2026 n: 6291 Heatwave in the Mediterranean Sea Surface temperatures monitored in the Mediterranean Sea are warmer than usual for this time of year with peaks especially along the coasts of Spain, France and the upper Adriatic this could favor a sort of biological invasion by invasive species some of which are sometimes toxic and particularly voracious, then fishermen have long been complaining about the difficulty of dealing with the situation. Shifting the focus to another aquatic environment dozens of victims in Europe (for example over forty in France and five in Germany) due to people swimming in rivers to cool off given the scorching temperatures caused by an African-type anticyclone that persists and moves very slowly, the high pressure traps hot air for several days which tends to remain in place creating a type of extreme phenomenon that is becoming increasingly frequent. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 24/06/2026 n: 6289 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
