Sea temperatures could reach record values (in over a century) compared to the average driven by "El Nino" particularly in the tropical Pacific exceeding three degrees Celsius, resulting in severe droughts in South America and the Western Pacific and therefore having tangible effects on global food security. When temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific rise by half a degree it is generally seen as the start of this global current which influences winds, atmospheric pressure and rainfall. To report switching topics but still on natural themes the clashes in Europe between cold Arctic currents and much warmer ones from Africa causing extreme events, then widespread fires in the Balkans and Hungary due to drought and high temperatures.

A wave of bad weather with storms and tornadoes has hit large areas of Germany, with reports of one death and one injury in Waldorf in the southwest Rhineland-Palatinate region, followed by damage to roofs being blown off and damaged cars. Other similar cases were reported in the Westerwald district, Hesse, Thuringia, and Bavaria where a village hosting a festival was partially evacuated, while the country as a whole is still dealing with the disruptions caused by the summer heatwaves with fourteen thousand victims reportedly due to related causes according to authorities. As for Italy there have been floods in Liguria due to heavy downpours and a bridge collapsed in Lombardy (then also landslides with hundreds of people evacuated), the intense rainfall is unlikely to make up for the damage caused by the drought due to the scarcity of reserve water basins.

From tests carried out in advanced phases on an innovative treatment for melanomas based on the therapeutic principles behind immunotherapy and mRNA vaccine technology, there appear to be positive benefits although the final phases of testing will be needed to confirm the results. Basically one therapy helps the immune system get ready while the other stimulates the response to the tumor. It's important to keep in mind that with melanoma prevention matters; in fact, sunburns especially when young shouldn’t be underestimated since the skin retains long-term memory of these insults, so it’s wise to avoid irritating the skin even with simple redness which can prematurely age the tissue and make it more sensitive to sunburns.

The average temperatures of the Mediterranean Sea reached a record value of twenty-seven degrees Celsius in July and the sea waters near Mallorca hit thirty-three degrees in the first days of August, these are alarming data for the marine ecosystem and coastal communities with tangible consequences; for example a warmer sea increases humidity and nighttime temperatures in coastal areas are higher besides fueling potential future storms during the year. A higher average temperature means that high-pressure systems responsible for heatwaves can reach higher temperatures, then the warm sea can cause suffering up to the disappearance of marine species, as happens with corals, and it impoverishes the food chain for birds and mammals.

Heavy torrential rainfall with flash floods have hit Gyeongsang province, with the city of Geoje in the south of the country particularly affected; reports mention one victim and hundreds of people evacuated in addition to disruptions, impassable roads and chaos in traffic in the areas most affected by bad weather. As for the island of Flores in Indonesia aftershocks continue some quite strong and authorities are struggling to manage the emergency for displaced people, who in some cases complain about the lack of food and essential goods; meanwhile the death toll has risen to sixty-eight, with over two hundred injured and thousands left homeless; many tourists are stranded, them is often difficult to move around among rubble, debris and collapsed buildings on parked cars.

In Greece on the island of Salamina west of Athens a fire with high flames caused two deaths and forced over three hundred and sixty people to evacuate, then in Spain there’s talk of one victim in Aragon in the northeast of the country, while there are numerous fires across Europe generally fueled by high temperatures and dry vegetation, as is happening in Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, and the Balkans; this is unprecedented devastation considering that spontaneous combustion is almost impossible (almost always it’s human hands that ignite the first flames). To report changing the topic but staying on nature-related issues that a hurricane hit Hawaii particularly Honolulu and Maui counties causing damage to at least a hundred homes, then more than two hundred thousand households were left without electric power.

There are reportedly at least forty victims in East Nusa Tenggara due to a 7.7 magnitude earthquake with a depth of about fifteen kilometers followed by dozens of aftershocks in eastern Indonesia, causing panic among the population; many damaged buildings are reported and about two thousand people evacuated in Nagekeo, with more evacuated to higher ground due to a potential tsunami (alert later lifted). The first quake was clearly felt also in West Nusa Tenggara and South Sulawesi about one hundred and thirty kilometers from the epicenter. To report on a different natural topic in Germany due to the low level of the Rhine river river navigation is about to be completely blocked, then in Italy volcanic activity on mount Etna in Sicily is very intense more than has been recorded in years.

There are reportedly four victims and evacuation orders for four hundred thousand people due to flooded roads caused by torrential rain in Chiba Prefecture, thousands of people stranded, followed by disruptions and entire areas left without electricity. Tokyo has also been affected by heavy rain and there are warnings continuing with the risk of landslides and further flooding. To report on a different topic but still related to nature the serious situation in the Swiss glaciers with some potentially disappearing by this year, while in Italy the agony of the Adamello Glacier continues, looking now very small and dark, accelerating the melting of the ice and causing damage to biodiversity and increasingly reduced water resources downstream.

With climate change, problems related to water scarcity will only get worse in the coming years, and this will inevitably have a significant impact on many technologies that rely on water, such as nuclear power plants that use water to cool reactors, then there's also overheating in northern France three reactors at the large Gravelines plant were shut down due to an unusual proliferation of jellyfish. Often hydroelectric plant operators are forced to produce little energy because of the reduced flow of the rivers that feed the turbines, then there's the question of how the operation of large data centers under construction which require huge amounts of water to cool processors will be ensured when sometimes there's not even enough water to irrigate the fields.

According to health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus is spreading quickly (with record-high rates compared to previous cases) and there are over two thousand deaths due to delays in monitoring the first infections, conflicts, limited resources in the healthcare system and insecurity in the affected areas that makes it harder for health workers to trace contacts; nearly four thousand four hundred confirmed cases across five provinces. To report switching topics but staying on health issues the life of children in Somalia is at risk, especially in the southwest of the country, due to malnutrition caused by severe drought with repeated poor rainy seasons and lost harvests.
