Canada still grappling with wildfires and issues Due to the smoke emitted from the wildfires burning vegetation in Ontario and the Prairies air quality in Toronto is among the worst in the world leading to a warning for the population to limit outdoor activities especially considering the extreme heat affecting the city with particular attention to vulnerable individuals, visibility is limited and the use of masks is advised; moreover there are significant hardships for the population in the Pikangikum First Nation also due to wildfires that have burned energy distribution poles leaving vast areas in darkness (sometimes food reserves are scarce). Shifting focus to the United States the search efforts have resumed for around one hundred sixty missing people from the recent floods in Texas after heavy rains and severe weather; in the meantime the death toll has risen to at least one hundred thirty-two. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 15, 2025

 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. According to weather forecasts the arrival of an African anticyclone will raise temperatures that had dropped for some time. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 14, 2025

Unfavorable climate for students in the Philippines Climate disasters threaten the learning of students in the Philippines and schools are poorly equipped to face them, at least according to a group of teachers who emphasize the lack of funding allocated for the twenty-seven million students who returned to school in June, a season considered the beginning for typhoons; but heatwaves forced schools to close in April and May. There is a call to invest in infrastructure that can make schools suitable to cope with heatwaves and storms, considering that the education sector is still dealing with damage caused by natural disasters. To report shifting the focus to Texas in the United States that has risen to over one hundred twenty the casualties and one hundred missing in the toll from recent floods, some say that the location of summer camps may not have been well planned. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 12, 2025

Still many fires in Manitoba in Canada For the second time a state of emergency has been declared in Manitoba also because it seems that Canadian authorities can more easily access shelters for the large number of displaced people this way. 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

Heat waves seen as insidious enemies Usually intense heat is associated with an unpleasant feeling that causes a bit of discomfort, but some feel that it is something that can be much more insidious and even dangerous due to the body's attempt to keep temperatures under control and lower them. Every organ must face an unhealthy stressful condition (which can even lead to death), and the mind can become unclear leading to mistakes in judgment. Moreover it should be considered that during heat waves, people generally sleep less well and the accumulated fatigue poses a risk for example at work, while driving, and during inspections. Recently due to the severe heat wave affecting many European countries there is talk of a Mediterranean Sea that is overheated and no longer able to sufficiently lower temperatures in the winter months. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 10, 2025

Considerations on the vegetation fire in Marseille The fire fueled by strong gusts of wind and rather dry vegetation reached the city of Marseille in southern France, the second largest in the country, forcing the airport to close and many residents to remain home raises the question of whether the unusually high Mediterranean temperature might have played a role; indeed, recently sea temperatures have reached five degrees Celsius above average in some areas (with a record of twenty-seven degrees on June thirtieth), reducing the nighttime cooling effect along the coasts. Some are making additional considerations regarding the flooding in Texas that has caused over one hundred ten deaths and one hundred seventy missing, as other areas could find themselves in the same conditions still in the absence of alert systems to be used in case of necessity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 09, 2025

A June with heat waves for twelve countries Unprecedented temperatures were recorded in June in twelve countries due to intense heat waves affecting nearly eight hundred million people in Europe, Asia, and Africa, from Nigeria to Japan, from Pakistan to Spain. In some countries temperatures are reported to be three degrees above the seasonal average, as occurred in Switzerland, Italy, and the Balkans; then in Korea two degrees above the seasonal average, but records for the month of June and extreme heat are also noted in China with record peaks (sometimes exceeding forty degrees) monitored by weather stations. Overall June ranks second for warming after 2024. It is currently worth noting a heat wave in Greece with temperature peaks of forty-two degrees Celsius, although weather forecasts predict sustained winds bringing somewhat cooler air in the coming days. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 08, 2025

Weather alert in North Carolina in the U.S. According to weather forecasts, flooding is possible in central and eastern areas of the state of North Carolina due to the tropical storm "Chantal" which has now weakened and been downgraded to a tropical depression, then there are also reports of possible isolated tornadoes in South Carolina; meanwhile the death toll from flooding in Texas has risen to over eighty with around ten people missing, devastated areas covered in debris, and there are controversies regarding cuts to the funding allocated to the national weather control center and the lack of a smartphone alert system for weather warnings in the affected counties (which have long been considered vulnerable). Notably shifting attention to Italy there is one victim in Lombardy region due to a wave of bad weather that has also caused damage and disruptions, and there are reports of over twenty-seven thousand lightning strikes in Tuscany region. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 07, 2025

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

Marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Among the causes of the high temperatures recorded on the Mediterranean coasts with values sometimes well above the averages the question is raised whether the marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean with monitored values in some areas of the sea reaching up to four degrees Celsius higher than the averages may have played a significant role. Climate variations affect all countries bordering the Mediterranean and some cite the example of Turkey recently facing hundreds of fires with casualties and damage and Greece still experiencing fires with evacuations and inconveniences, (then hundreds the victims for the heat in the South of Spain). The European Union proposes to reduce polluting emissions by ninety percent by 2040 to tackle climate change, but there are also discussions around various flexibility formulas to ensure that the countries of the union can achieve these goals. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 04, 2025
