Bad weather in some regions of Italy The heavy rainfall that is already affecting Abruzzo region with a red weather alert could worsen the situation regarding the landslide in Silvi in the province of Teramo, where some houses have already collapsed and others are at risk of being carried away by the shifting ground. The situation is said to resemble on a smaller scale what happened in Niscemi in Sicily; then in Molise a dam is causing concern and water is being released. Several trees have fallen due to wind gusts sometimes causing injuries as happened in Lazio and then heavy winter-type snowfall in some central regions. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural topics that in the mountains of western United States and Canada a kind of anomalous heat dome linked to climate change is rapidly melting the snow cover. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 01, 2026

 Conference in Bangkok on climate change The usual disagreements are emerging at a conference being held in Bangkok in Thailand between developing and developed countries on topics such as ending the use of fossil fuels, compensation for damage caused by climate change, and funds to be allocated to adapt to extreme events. Apparently a role in the matter is played by a previous request from Saudi Arabia, India and China to delay the next publication of a key environmental report until 2029, after a COP33 conference considered crucial that will take place in 2028 (probably in India) and this would allow additional reference climate data to be included; but the latest reports already speak of a record concentration of CO2 with climate changes intensifying through interconnected systems such as oceans, cryosphere and atmosphere. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 30, 2026 n°: 6217 Bad weather in Italy with a sharp drop in temperatures A wave of Arctic-origin bad weather with a Norwegian cyclone characterized by a sharp drop in temperatures and very cold wind gusts, storms, and rough seas is affecting several regions in Italy, there is also talk of frost in the Po Valley in western areas (which could damage crops) and low-altitude snowfall; rough seas with high waves have occurred particularly on some coasts of Sardinia. To report changing the subject but staying on natural topics the floods that recently hit Dubai and some areas of the United Arab Emirates due to unusually heavy rainfall for the period, causing traffic to be paralyzed or rather problematic in the city and inconvenience for the population with homes and businesses flooded in a country where various extreme phenomena had already caused debate in the past. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 27, 2026 n°: 6215 Imbalance in the amount of heat absorbed by the Earth With eleven consecutive years of global average temperatures hitting record highs (which cannot be considered an anomalous causality) the planet would have absorbed greenhouse gas emissions and trapped excessive amounts of heat, resulting in a so-called energy imbalance and there is concern about a further increase in temperatures with the arrival of a phase driven by the global current "El Nino". For example in 2025 record levels of heat were reached, impacting global temperatures in ways that could last for thousands of years, then according to international organizations the planet is essentially pushed beyond its limits with every climate indicator showing red alert putting it in a state of emergency. For the first time reference is made to the climate report, the percentage at which energy enters the climate system and then leaves it. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 24, 2026 n°: 6212 Record heat in California on average for the period With over forty-four degrees Celsius recorded in a desert area near the city of Yuma on the border between California and Arizona experts speak of a record for the month of March, for what is an event that occurs once in half a millennium and in reality can be linked to climate changes caused by humans. Twenty-nine degrees in the city of San Francisco which at this time of year is usually chilly and a bit foggy is a record figure for the month of March and these abnormal temperatures extend from the southern coast of California to Las Vegas in the desert. There is little doubt that these extreme events are caused by global warming resulting from the indiscriminate use of fossil fuels, then the plants and trees were already in bloom (in winter), the vegetation had been growing lushly for some time fed by the copious rains in December and January. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 21, 2026 n°: 6210 Wave of bad weather over the United States A climate characterized by rather chaotic extreme events could affect over one hundred million people from coast to coast in the United States with gusts of wind (with the danger that if particular conditions occur they could fuel potential tornadoes) on the East Coast and unusual summer-like heat in California. A storm has caused power outages for over two hundred sixty thousand utilities and businesses in the Midwest, then there are reports of thousands of canceled flights and announcements of delays, a possible blizzard in Wisconsin and Michigan, disruptions in several states due to wind chills. Changing the topic but staying on natural phenomena at least fifty victims and over one hundred twenty missing people have recently been reported in southern Ethiopia due to a landslide caused by heavy rainfall that is common in the rainy season. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 17, 2026 n°: 6206 Considerations on the use of more polluting fuels With a potential crisis in the transport of fossil fuels due to conflicts some argue that there is a risk of using more polluting fuels to cope with shortages or because prices are rising and it seems that there are already countries where this environmentally unfriendly situation is occurring. moreover it should be considered that it can also have repercussions in the agricultural production sector and on food security; for example cooking with fuels not suitable for the purpose releases toxic chemical components besides polluting the environment. To report changing topic but remaining on nature-related issues that in Queensland in Australia there are complaints from residents who cannot return to their homes in areas recently evacuated due to floods caused by heavy rainfall, during a period that has been very rainy with damage and inconvenience. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 13, 2026 n°: 6203 Difficulties in Peru due to recent floods Due to torrential rainfall that recently affected large areas in the south of the country there are reports of difficulties for the population dealing with repeated floods and landslides, for example the Arequipa region was particularly affected with thousands of houses swept away by rivers of mud and debris due to an extreme phenomenon called "Coastal El Nino" which also causes sea level rise along the coasts. To report moving the attention to other scenarios yet another eruption of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii with volcanic material projected over long distances onto some inhabited areas forcing the partial closure of a section of highway; then in Italy a magnitude 5.9 tremor with an epicenter at great depth near Anacapri in the Gulf of Naples did not cause damage, but the earthquake did not go unnoticed due to the peculiarity of this rare phenomenon. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 11, 2026 n°: 6201 Landslide in a mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo There are reportedly at least three hundred victims due to heavy rainfall in the Democratic Republic of Congo resulting in a landslide that affected the Rubaya area where there are mines extracting for example coltan used in the manufacture of smartphones, tablets, and computers. This is the third time in less than two months that a landslide has occurred with a total toll of about seven hundred victims, then there is also talk of the danger of further landslides because the ground is still unstable in an area where other serious incidents of this kind have occurred, with precarious working conditions and in theory with artisanal extraction. To report on a different topic but still related to natural events eight victims were reported in southern Michigan in USA due to a tornado that recently affected Branch county near the Union city. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 09, 2026 n°: 6199 Probably underestimated sea level rise Many studies (apparently about ninety percent) regarding sea level rise are based on static models without taking into account waves, currents, wind, tides, temperature changes, so according to researchers the actual level of rise is probably underestimated. We are talking about tens of millions more people who could be threatened by sea level rise, moreover in many cases it does not concern a hypothetical future but the current reality and it does not only change the retreating coastline but also the real lives of people forced to abandon their homes. The authorities planning actions to counteract damages related to sea level rise might have an incomplete picture of the situation; in fact, the flooded areas will be much wider than previously thought and the real impact on the population should already be considered. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 05, 2026 n°: 6196 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
