Another fire is burning vegetation near Feneos in Corinth and firefighter teams supported by aerial firefighting units are trying to combat the flames. Temperatures in the country are very high (remaining quite high even at night), for example peaks of almost forty-five degrees Celsius have been recorded in Tragana, Larissa, and Karditsa.

Floods have also occurred in New York and south-central Pennsylvania, and some have criticized New York's sewer system despite significant funds allocated due to the torrents of water that have flooded an underground station and the subway tunnels in Manhattan, with strong splashes and jets of water seemingly due to the figurative comparison that if for example one tries to pour two liters of water quickly into a bottle that can hold a maximum of one liter the water spurts out forcefully and in jets. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 16, 2025 n°: 6002 Torrential rain in Catalonia in Spain There are reportedly two missing persons in Catalonia (an "autonomous" community in the northeast of Spain) due to heavy rains that have caused flooding, interrupting railway and road traffic in some cases, uprooting trees and causing inconveniences, while authorities warn the population to be careful; it is also mentioned that there are heavy rainfalls in other areas along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Notably shifting attention to Italy a landslide from the mountains for the third time in a month has made the Alemagna state road impassable in Cadore in Veneto region and in Tuscany thousands of lightning strikes have hit the coast with bad weather and cases of closed beach resorts, while in Molise there is talk of a fire that has ravaged the vegetation.

Three days ago, one million hectares of vegetation were reported to have gone up in smoke, and it is estimated that by 2025, the average will be much higher than the area usually lost to fires; meanwhile, some in the United States sometimes complained of poor air quality depending on the wind direction that carried fine particulate matter and soot to areas affected at great distances. To report shifting the attention to Italy the fires that have damaged vegetation in Metaponto in Basilicata region near a tourist village on the beach, resulting in evacuations, and in Castiglione della Pescaia in Tuscany region also in a tourist facility with damages and discomfort. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 11, 2025 n°: 5998 Floods in Texas and fires in California There are at least twenty-sven victims and about twenty missing (girls) due to a flooding caused by the Guadalupe river that affected an area in south-central Texas in the Kerr County where summer camps for children and teenagers have been set up as a tradition every year. Intense rainfall during the night raised the level of the Guadalupe river by eight meters in forty-five minutes; authorities sent rescue and missing persons search teams, but some complained about the lack of warnings (which should theoretically have been sent to smartphones alerting people to take cover due to the imminent danger). As regard the California a large fire is consuming the rather dry vegetation in San Luis Obispo County with evacuations occurring on State Route 166 which has been partially closed. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 05, 2025 n°: 5993 Fires in Spain and Greece, heat in Italy There are said to be two victims in Spain due to a large fire burning vegetation in Catalonia, fueled by high temperatures, then in Greece there are reports of an uncontrolled fire in Lasithi (Achlia - Crete) with evacuation orders and people being rescued by boats, houses on fire and hotels threatened by flames, with smoke from the fires reaching long distances. Regarding the heat in Italy supported by an African high-pressure system that has been settled over Europe for some time instances of discomfort and heat strokes are multiplying, also leading to victims such as two on the beach in Sardinia and one in Liguria; a region in particular where temperatures in some areas exceed forty-one degrees Celsius and tropical nights above thirty degrees that not favor the body from fully recovering the physical and psychological energy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 03, 2025 n°: 5991 Bad weather in Italy in some regions Due to the great heat accumulated from the intense heat wave, localized extreme phenomena have occurred, such as in Bardonecchia in Piedmont region where the Frejus river overflowed causing one death, then there have also been reports of heavy rainfall and gusts of wind, while there is a debate about the collapse of a large advertising sign on a futuristic skyscraper in Milan possibly due to the high temperatures of these days that have weakened the materials.
