Floods in Somalia and bad weather in Italy There would be at least ten victims in Somalia due to floods following unusually heavy rainfall, with reports of rivers of water in the capital Mogadishu forcing people to move partially submerged and in some neighborhoods the ground floors of houses have been submerged; the death toll could probably rise since authorities have not yet managed to get a clear picture of the situation. As for Italy a wave of bad weather has mainly affected Tuscany and Liguria regions, where there have been cases for example of evacuations, tornadoes, cloudbursts and a lightning strike hit a house burning its roof; in general, temperatures have dropped considerably in the North and snow-covered areas were not lacking in the Alps; then there were various weather alerts in some regions also for possible hailstorms. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 06, 2026

 Mexico City is sinking at high speed It appears that Mexico City is experiencing ground subsidence visible even from satellites and measurable at about twenty-five centimeters per year; according to researchers, this is one of the highest rates in the world, posing structural problems that are difficult to solve for this metropolis of twenty-two million people and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Using large amounts of water pumped from the underground to meet the needs of Mexico's capital has significantly lowered the water table, resulting in a chronic water crisis that can only worsen; for example damages are noted to the metropolitan cathedral built starting in 1573, to the subway, to the sewers, to the entire system of pipes that provides drinking water and requiring careful monitoring of the situation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 02, 2026 n: 6244 Slowing of the Meridional Atlantic Ocean Current The slowing of the Meridional Atlantic Ocean Current (AMOC) that has been monitored could be part of a natural variability or represent a long-term decline, at least according to researchers who emphasize that even though climate models are very complex this change with increasingly warmer oceans is quite worrying; in fact, for example temperatures in London and areas of Europe in winter could be much lower even if the summer remains warm. The circulation of this current could stop entirely if we continue to emit large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causing global temperatures to rise. It is also worth noting shifting attention to other scenarios the unusual proliferation of jellyfish in the sea near Trieste due to anomalously high temperatures in the Mediterranean, and conversely an unusual heavy snowfall in Moscow with falling trees and disruptions for the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 28, 2026 n: 6241 Estimate of contaminated land after the Chernobyl disaster Almost fifty thousand square kilometers of land would have been contaminated following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster with three and a half million people affected, at least according to statements from international organizations regarding what is considered the worst atomic disaster in history, while it is noted that forty years have passed since the tragic event which in the first days was also kept hidden. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic topics that a strong tornado left a trail of destruction in its path in the state of Oklahoma in the United States; there is talk of roofs being torn off and damage to the power infrastructure, in addition to at least ten people injured; there were no victims but residents of the affected areas including part of the city of Enid were trapped in their homes which often suffered severe damage. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 25, 2026 n: 6239 Earthquake in Japan and bad weather in New Zealand A strong magnitude 7.7 quake off the coast of northern Japan raised fears of a slight risk (only a one percent chance) of a possible mega earthquake in coastal areas, forcing the inhabitants of one hundred eighty-two cities along the northeast coasts to be prepared while continuing their daily activities, but with confirmations on which shelter they had chosen. The tsunami warning was quickly lifted and no anomalies were detected at nuclear plants just over fifteen years after the tsunami which caused twenty-two thousand deaths and the Fukushima disaster with half a million people evacuated. As for New Zealand there is a report of a missing person along Wellington due to a wave of bad weather with heavy rainfall and resulting landslides, floods and inevitable inconveniences for the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 21, 2026 n: 6235 Various flood alerts in Canada The town of Minden Hills in Haliburton County in Ontario remains in a state of emergency due to floods after previous events that saw streets and homes submerged, resulting in the setting up of an evacuation center in the community, then there are now concerns about the levels of the Gull River as weather forecasts predict more rainfall in the coming days and preparations are being made to deal with potential flooding for example in areas south of Ontario. The situation is quite similar in some municipalities in Quebec regarding this type of alert with Montreal under observation with some streets already flooded and a bridge closed although authorities say they have already put intervention plans in place in recent days to handle emergencies and that no significant problems are expected. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 17, 2026 n: 6232 A strong typhoon approaches remote Pacific islands After lashing out Guam with heavy rain and gusts of wind a strong tropical typhoon approaches remote U.S. Pacific islands, it is estimated that wind gusts could exceed two hundred and seventy kilometers per hour in trajectory to the islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan perhaps with a quantifiable category of four to five and emergency declaration. About fifty thousand people live on the three islands and most in Saipan, known for its tourist attractions (and for a bloody battle in the Second World War) and capital of the Northern Marian Islands. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues two victims in Puglia region in Italy due to strong gusts of wind resulting in the fall of a tree and a lamppost that overwhelmed respectively a girl and a maintenance worker. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 14, 2026 n: 6229 Discussion about landslides at Termoli in Molise in Italy There have been discussions about the landslide front over four kilometers along Termoli in Molise region and it seems that critical issues have emerged in various villages, then some complain about the failure to make safety in the past of the affected area; in fact, the story has some distant parallel with what occurred with the landslide of Niscemi in Sicily. In the meantime there is talk of the reopening of the motorway (already carried out) and partial of the railway, but some questions arise in case of any future extreme weather events for example with heavy and long-lasting storms or rainy precipitation on an unstable territory. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a new model announced of accurate Canadian climatic forecasts "hybrid with artificial intelligence" with man who remains indispensable for interpretation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 10, 2026 n: 6226 Floods in Dagestan in Russia There are reportedly at least three victims and over four thousand people evacuated due to the recent floods that have affected Dagestan in Russia, particularly the area of the local capital Makhachkala in the North Caucasus, there are reports of highways and roads being impassable, masses of various debris accumulated and flooded homes, causing significant difficulties for the population; these are considered among the worst floods to have hit this region, and some talk of a country ill-prepared to face climate change. Authorities have sent rescue teams to help people in difficulty, while the river levels and the stability of the levees are a concern, and then water overflowed from a dam resulting in severe flooding in the areas downstream. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 07, 2026 n: 6223 Fertilizer shortages and organic farming Due to the difficulty of passage of ships laden with fertilizers because of a conflict that also affects the important Strait of Hormuz, there are concerns about the stability of the global agricultural sector, then the rise in the price of hydrocarbons used to power agricultural machinery, greenhouses and transportation for crops risks further worsening the situation. Trying to return to practicing a type of local organic farming could help address these shortages; in fact, it requires less use of fertilizers and does not necessitate transporting agricultural products over long distances, then lately some have also spoken about hidden dangers in intensive farming which tends to contaminate soils with heavy metals, these potentially toxic dangers often go unnoticed, with consequences for organisms. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 04, 2026 n: 6222 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
