Flooding in some municipalities of Alberta in Canada Heavy rainfall from a low-pressure system has affected some municipalities in Alberta in Canada causing floods, waterlogging and problems for many water facilities that became practically unusable, then a severe thunderstorm with a downpour hit West Island in Montreal leaving hundreds of residents with flooded homes and more than twenty-one thousand households without electricity across the great Montreal area. There are reports of people evacuated, roads impassable, inconveniences for the population with various requests for help and authorities suggesting staying informed to deal with the situation. Recently in Manitoba two tornadoes caused flooding, particularly affecting the Stonewall area with damage to crops and inevitable complaints from farmers finding their fields flooded. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 22, 2026

 After a fire fungi restore the soil Certain fungi are able to feed on the toxins left in the soil after a fire, making it ready for new plant growth, at least according to a Canadian study that highlights their importance especially with climate change and consequently large fires of these fungi come in colors like orange, purple and brown that are fire-loving (pyrophilous) able just weeks after a fire to turn ash-like soil into favorable environmental conditions. Fungal spores seem to stay dormant until activated by a fire that raises soil temperatures very high, but just a few centimeters below the surface the temperature drops significantly allowing them to act. Gaining a better understanding of these fungi could be useful in keeping ecosystems healthy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 18, 2026 n: 6284 Adapting to face extreme weather events May temperature data in Europe show how we quickly went from a period that was quite cold compared to the average to an intense heat wave caused by an African high-pressure system, so according to researchers this demonstrates how fast extreme events are becoming the new normal rather than rare exceptions. This has a significant environmental impact leaving little time for people, crops, and ecosystems to adapt to much higher temperatures, with peaks of thirty-five to forty degrees across large areas of Europe and even sea temperatures were practically at record levels. Since with the influence of the global "El Nino" current it's likely that significant extreme events will occur between June and August some recommend preparing to face them properly. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 12, 2026 n: 6279 Mangroves are expanding again after decades of retreat Mangrove forests in coastal areas of the planet allow the survival of millions of people by countering climate change promoting a healthy ecosystem and enabling various activities ranging from fishing to tourism and satellite images would show that after decades of decline due to human development and extreme events they are expanding thanks to safeguarding and conservation initiatives, but in practice it seems that this surprising result is more due to the ability of mangrove forests to withstand human impacts than to the efforts made to protect them. Among the important functions performed by mangroves is the protection of coasts from erosion and storms so deforestation must be stopped because they remain vulnerable, then having young mangrove forests is not the same environmentally as the role carried out by the original ones. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 10, 2026 n: 6277 Delos island is sinking by one centimeter per year Due to the rise in sea level and geological processes resulting in subsidence of coastal areas Delos would sink by one centimeter per year, then there are two more or less positive scenarios of prediction regarding the trend of this phenomenon, at least according to a study that highlights how the coastline in front of the ancient city of Delos is increasingly retreating, the wetland behind the harbor will expand, archaeological areas with ancient structures that are partially submerged will become completely submerged, so visitors will also have difficulties regarding accessibility. To report changing the topic but staying on natural issues the count of the damage caused by a tornado in Rome that uprooted dozens of trees, damaged roofs, cars, tore down structures, obstructed road and rail traffic; then there was a victim in Sicily due to fires. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 04, 2026 n: 6272 Protecting the health of trees and preventing fires Climate change characterized by periods of low rainfall followed by others with heavy rain and even thunderstorms, undermines the health of plants due to diseases and pests, then these withered plants can promote the spread of fires; some say that there are areas of the world where fires destroy trees at a faster rate than that required to replace them. Once the sapling of a new tree is planted it finds itself in an ecosystem substantially different from the previous one, so species that can adapt and are also resistant to various diseases should be chosen, then the health of the humus plays an important role in promoting rapid growth, for example to regenerate a forest; otherwise there is a risk of having trees that grow with difficulty and dry out leading to a vicious cycle concerning fires. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 01, 2026 n: 6269 Record average temperatures in Spain and France Due to an African high-pressure system of subtropical type there is mention temperatures are well above the seasonal average with various records for the month of May during the heatwave, for example, in Spain peaks can reach nearly thirty-eight degrees Celsius, and in France thirty-six (seven victims due to the heat); then intense heat also in England with a kind of heat dome over London and the situation is not very different in Italy for several cities in the North. Shifting attention to India the heatwave affecting central and north-western areas has not yet abated in a grip of "brutal" heat and heat islands with temperatures reaching up to forty-seven degrees Celsius, there are reports of many victims from heatstroke, mostly males; while authorities warn to be cautious while working under the sun and to stay hydrated. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 27, 2026 n: 6265 Floods in China and intense heat in India There are reportedly more than ten victims due to floods in vast areas of central and southern China affected by torrential rainfall, is talk of flooded cities and thousands of evacuations; particularly hit by heavy rains and consequent floods is Xuan - Enshi County in Hubei Province in central China. As for India, apparently a weather station in Uttar Pradesh Banda recorded a temperature above forty-seven degrees Celsius with conditions described as brutal further south as well in areas such as Vidarbha and Maharashtra, and then the minimum temperatures are truly high, so there is no relief even at night in many places, for example the capital Delhi where scorching heat islands form. In the last days of April the fifty hottest cities in the world were unusually all in India. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: n: 6259 Sandstorm in India and bad weather in Italy There are reportedly dozens of victims in India in Uttar Pradesh in the north of the country due to a strong sand and dust storm that caused structures to collapse, uprooted trees and brought down many power lines resulting in electricity outages. As for Italy heavy hailstorms in the northern part of the country damaged crops including some vineyards in the well-known wine area of Franciacorta in the province of Brescia in Lombardy region, there are also reports of a tornado in Veneto region in the province of Rovigo in addition to various hailstorms; in general the drop in temperatures is significant. To report changing the subject but staying on natural issues that the damage caused by fires monitored from January to April affected about one hundred and fifty million hectares (favored by weather conditions related to "El Nino") with Asia and Africa being particularly affected. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 15, 2026 n: 6255 Volcanic eruption in Indonesia Three climbers are being searched for missing on Mount Dukono in northern Halmahera - Maluku in Indonesia due to a massive volcanic eruption that produced a smoke column about ten kilometers high with dense volcanic ash, authorities have also evacuated some people, then other eruptive phenomena occurred. Also in Indonesia due to bad weather and intense hydrometeorological events that affected North Sumatra in the past two weeks there is talk of a landslide that caused three fatalities on a highway. It is worth noting changing the topic but remaining on natural phenomena that researchers have recognized as the second highest tsunami ever recorded the one that occurred last summer in a fjord in southeastern Alaska caused by a huge landslide of about sixty-four million cubic meters of rock falling into the sea in less than a minute. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 09, 2026 n: 6250 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
