After hitting Okinawa Prefecture in Japan causing six injuries and cutting electricity to fifty thousand users a typhoon with wind gusts exceeding one hundred sixty kilometers per hour (category two) is already battering the east coast of China. There is one reported death and disruptions due to torrential rainfall. Authorities who have already declared a state of alert have evacuated those most at risk [one milion], then flooding is expected from heavy rains in the metropolis of Shanghai and there is a high hydrogeological risk in Zhejiang with evacuation warnings for people living on higher ground. The integrity of water reservoirs, rivers and mountain streams is being monitored, then areas that could be prone to landslides, including construction sites and tourist locations.

The average temperatures recorded in July would have broken all previous records, then the forecasts for 2026 are not very reassuring as it could be a really hot year too, partly because of the influence of the global current "El Nino". Among the consequences of high temperatures for example there’s the case of the Rhine River running dry which forces barges to navigate with minimal load at much higher costs, Danube is also running low weakening hydroelectric and nuclear power plants so much that in some cities night lighting has been reduced. Some point out that thirty years ago the grape harvest started at the end of September and went on until November but now it starts in August and in general all crops are severely affected by the weather with many farmers suffering from psychological stress.

Temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea are reaching up to thirty-three degrees Celsius often with complaints from holidaymakers who can't even take a refreshing swim on the scorching beaches, then the high energy accumulated by the sea could be released in the form of tropical storms and Mediterranean hurricanes (so-called Medicanes) causing massive waves that erode coasts and damage infrastructures built along the shore, not to mention the harm to marine biodiversity. Various temperature records have been reported like in Austria with over forty-one degrees in the village of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg near the Slovakian border, country with peaks over forty-two in Dolne Plachtince in the south, then the stifling heat in the city of Skopje in Macedonia.

Temperatures in all twenty-seven monitored cities used to determine the heat risk threshold are at red alert levels, in some cases there are even spikes approaching forty degrees Celsius due to the fourth African heatwave, but the perceived temperature can be higher as happened yesterday in Rome where a well-known religious celebration was not held outdoors in the square because of thirty-eight degrees Celsius with a perceived temperature of around forty-two degrees. Tropical nights bring significant discomfort and poor sleep hygiene and not enabling the body from recovering energy. Severe drought in Piedmont has led to a state of emergency also due to fires, with the Po River and almost all watercourses running dry, causing distress to crops, especially rice.

Apparently over eighty percent of young people in Australia who were banned from using social networks still manage to access their accounts claiming that there are no controls or that there are ways to bypass the restrictions. Maybe as some suggest the problem often lies in the bad example of parents who generally spend long periods of time on these questionable social network apps that have psychological reward-like mechanisms making their use appealing. To report changing the topic but still sticking to tech themes the news about a piece of space debris that is about to fall on the Moon; from an ecological point of view it’s a bad example of how humans could pollute other planets.

From aerial views it appears that between seven hundred and eleven hundred structures were burned and reduced to ashes by the flames in Spokane in the state of Washington in the northwest United States, it's being called the worst natural disaster in what is the second-largest city in this state with sixty-five thousand people forced to leave their homes. Firefighters have made some progress in tackling the fires fueled by drought, extreme heat and strong winds; basically there were three fire fronts that merged into a single front burning over three thousand two hundred hectares in the Spokane area. Authorities had already declared a state of emergency in recent days with the first fires given the really unfavorable conditions with four consecutive years of drought, unusually high temperatures and strong gusts of wind; then the winter in the state had been on average very warm with record values.

Due to climate change fires are becoming increasingly uncontrollable and some wonder if this is becoming an unhealthy normality, for example there are talks about fires that fuel themselves through a phenomenon like the so-called pyrocumulonimbus eruptions, which are like clouds with scorching vortices and large amounts of water vapor that rise into the atmosphere, generated by the fires themselves, which then collapse bringing ash and burning debris to the ground along with gusts of wind that spread the fires in all directions. Even a small fire can cause a disaster, so the territory should be monitored (with personnel trained to extinguish the first outbreaks, cameras, drones..) to intervene in the early stages. To report recently that there were two victims in Greece due to the collision of two firefighting helicopters west of Athens.

A 4.7 magnitude earthquake shook the Phlegraean Fields near Naples as often happens in this area linked to the bradyseism phenomenon, there are reports of dozens of injured some seriously along with partial collapses in buildings, tufa cliff falls, evacuations of homes, damage to the docks of the Port of Pozzuoli and suspension of local train services. As for the Po River previous records for low water levels have been broken and the situation is alarming also due to the intrusion of the sea's salt wedge from the mouth with the salt seeping into the soil and causing crops to wither; among the causes of the low level are also the high temperatures during the period due to an African heatwave with peaks approaching forty degrees Celsius, there are many heat alerts in cities across Italy, generally causing an unhealthy sense of discomfort.

The proposal to approve a U.S. project to launch with rockets and put fifty thousand mirrors into orbit by 2035 to provide on-demand energy services (a sort of reflected sun with a mirror-facing size toward the earth of about five kilometers) has caused dissent among some astronomers who argue that this decision could have definitely negative consequences. For example there are concerns about risks for species used to a naturally dark night sky, potential damage to sensitive telescope equipment and astronomical research, blinding flashes for airplane pilots and drivers, possible permanent retinal damage for those using medium-sized telescopes to observe the stars; plus space is already polluted with an excessive number of satellites and debris that increase year after year.

Fires in Greece are reported to have caused three deaths (firefighters trapped by the flames), with the island of Crete in the Rethymno region particularly affected, then there have also been evacuations by sea due to numerous other outbreaks on different islands, villages hit by fires with houses burned, high columns of smoke rising from the fires spreading over long distances and inevitably causing trouble for the population. As for Great Britain there’s talk of a pronounced drought with rainfall levels really far below the average for this time of year, with a high risk of fires, the famous English lawns are parched and there are water restrictions like in London where garden watering is banned, some areas such as the prehistoric site of Stonehenge are scorched by the heat.
