Record rainfall in February in France According to monitored data February in France was on average the rainiest month since 1959, with reports of forty days of continuous rainfall surpassing the record of thirty-two in 2023, particularly affecting the southwest of the country due to consequent flooding. There were a series of storms and severe weather along the Atlantic axis favored by two anticyclones centered over Africa and Northern Europe. As usual climate change plays a role with a warmer atmosphere containing more water vapor thereby increasing the potential for intense rainfall (in some areas since January 1 the equivalent of an entire winter's worth of rain or even more). To report on another note but still related to natural events that there were thirty-two victims and dozens missing in Brazil's Minas Gerais state in the southwest of the country due to a landslide caused by heavy rainfall. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 26, 2026

 Disruptions due to snowstorm in the northeastern U.S. Millions of people have been forced to stay home due to hazardous weather conditions with icy wind gusts and snowfall that have covered vast areas of the northeastern United States with a thick layer, emergency declarations from Delaware to Massachusetts and hundreds of thousands of people left without power due to fallen power lines. Visibility is often extremely low due to the blizzard conditions, thousands of flights have been canceled; there are reports of a very strong cyclone due to a drastic drop in atmospheric pressure of at least twenty-four millibars in one day along the Northeast coast, then weather forecasts for the southeastern part of the Boston-Providence corridor also warn of a potentially very intense storm. Disruptions for the population are inevitable forcing people to move on foot on sometimes impassable roads. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 24, 2026 n°: 6188 Questions about a tragic avalanche in California The investigative inquiries launched in the Sierra Nevada following a recent avalanche that caused the deaths of eight skiers and left one missing regarding possible negligence by the company organizing the ski trip despite the arrival of a severe storm, raise in general the questions about other tragic events that have occurred in various mountainous regions of the world; in fact, usually a simple avalanche warning is enough to deter skiers from what could be a dangerous descent, then with climate change the snow cover is often less compact and unstable. To report changing the topic but remaining with natural themes the understandable complaints of the survivors of the disastrous floods in Sumatra three months ago who had to undertake "religious fasts" while living in makeshift shelters with high daytime temperatures that then become freezing at night. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 21, 2026 n°: 6186 Bad weather in some regions of Italy Disruptions in Calabria region in the province of Cosenza due to floods and landslides, resulting in evacuations, isolated families, damaged crops and difficulties. There are reports of the overflowing of the Busento, Campagnano, and Crati rivers. Near Rome a retaining wall collapsed due to heavy recent rainfall hitting an apartment building and causing one fatality, meanwhile the wave of bad weather is affecting other regions with various weather warnings. To report on a different note but still related to environmental issues there is controversy over the intention of the American authorities to repeal a regulation aimed at reducing pollutant emissions (based on a scientific report that identifies greenhouse gases as harmful to Americans' health), the goal is essentially to support the fossil fuel industry amid skepticism about transitioning to renewable energy sources. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 14, 2026 n°: 6180 Floods and landslides in Colombia and Morocco At least thirteen people are reported dead and fifty thousand evacuated in Colombia due to floods and landslides following weeks of unusually heavy rainfall, there is talk of a kind of tropical storm likely fueled by the conditions favored by the global current "La Nina" which affected thirty-one out of thirty-two departments in the country. As for Morocco after a downpour a car was swept away by floodwaters causing four deaths and one missing person in the north of the country, then more than one hundred thousand people were evacuated from areas in the northwest of the country, with the Sidi Kacem region particularly affected. To report shifting the focus to Italy that the ground continues to collapse in Niscemi in Sicily region where a symbol commemorating a previous landslide also fell, furthermore several landslides have been reported throughout the country. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 10, 2026 n°: 6176 Abnormal hot and cold temperatures in Canada Two types of winter are occurring in Canada with areas of the country where trees are blooming and others covered by a thick blanket of snow with the cities of Vancouver and Toronto cited as examples of these climate anomalies, the first without snow for forty-three years and with cherry trees in bloom and the second very cold with a thick layer of snow, then there are places where ski and ice skating facilities have been closed and others where lakes have frozen over as well as places with alerts due to icy wind gusts and extremely low temperatures. A polar vortex characterized by cold Arctic fronts is said to be responsible for the waves of low temperatures which sometimes tend to weaken, this situation of abnormal temperatures (both in terms of cold and heat on average) has also been partially monitored in some European countries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 07, 2026 n°: 6174 Bad weather in Spain in Andalusia A storm characterized by heavy rainfall, downpours and gusts of wind is affecting Andalusia in Spain, there is talk of a missing person and about three thousand five hundred people affected by flooding due to what is described as a sort of atmospheric river loaded with moisture, with the ground no longer able to absorb the water. Many roads are impassable and streams of water converge into raging torrents and infiltrate because the soil is too saturated and raising concerns about the very high river levels, then rescuers are busy responding to numerous calls for help. Weather forecasts warn of the possible impact of the storm on the Balearic and alerts have been issued to be cautious of bad weather across all the islands, a similar situation is occurring in Galicia across all provinces and with other areas of Spain experiencing the storm with lesser intensity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 05, 2026 n°: 6172 Italy grappling with cases of hydrogeological instability A building has fallen off the edge of a canyon-like formation created by a landslide in Niscemi in Sicily in the province of Caltanissetta, it seems that the landslide front stretching for kilometers had already been identified centuries ago, but little was done to secure the area; then storm surges following the recent Mediterranean hurricane are eroding it deeply infiltrating in certain points left exposed below the region's coastline, there is even talk of towns where waves now reach the houses. In Rome near the Imperial Forums a pine tree fell in a high-tourist-traffic area slightly injuring three people; the ground was possibly unstable and soft being soaked with water from previous heavy rainfall. To report shifting attention to Japan areas that have been affected by heavy snowfall, with meters of snow accumulating on the streets. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 02, 2026 n°: 6169 Vast fires in Patagonia in Argentina Fires possibly partly arson have for weeks affected over thirty-six thousand hectares of native forest, grasslands, villages, and tourist areas; there is talk of declaring a state of emergency for a situation that is engaging a large number of firefighting teams. Particularly affected by the devastation of vegetation is for example the province of Chubut while even though for about twenty years vast fires affecting Patagonia there have been major difficulties in dealing with the flames climate change tends to worsen the situation due to scorching temperatures and wind. To report on a different note but still related to environmental issues that due to the polar cold wave hitting the United States gas production which is then liquefied to be exported by ship to Europe has significantly decreased. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 30, 2026 n°: 6167 Polar and dangerous cold in the United States At least thirty-five people are said to have died due to the intense polar cold affecting the United States with forecasts predicting areas experiencing icy winds as low as minus twenty-nine degrees Celsius from Texas to Pennsylvania, and even Florida could reach cold peaks. This is brutally dangerous cold for health and for example, authorities in Kentucky warn that staying outdoors for even just ten minutes could cause frostbite and hypothermia; generally there are many road accidents caused by snow accumulated on the roads and ice, and also for instance many power lines are damaged due to falling branches weighed down by snow and ice. The situation is not much different in Canada where a snowstorm has affected areas in the east of the country. To report shifting the attention to Great Britain a wave of bad weather characterized by violent gusts of wind. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 28, 2026 n°: 6165 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
