Damage in Sardinia and Sicily from a powerful cyclone
The storm surges with high waves caused by a strong Mediterranean cyclone, marked by wind gusts reaching one hundred fifty kilometers per hour have caused damage and disruption in Sardinia, Sicily and Calabria, with eroded coastlines, impassable roads and uprooted trees; for example notable scenic spots along the Sardinian coast have been seriously damaged, the famous Mondello beach in Sicily near Palermo has been heavily eroded, and in Aci Trezza and Aci Castello beach facilities have been practically swept away, while alerts are still in place. To report shifting the attention to Spain it should be noted that a train derailed in Catalonia due to the collapse of a retaining wall from previous heavy rains causing one death and several serious injuries just two days after a major railway accident in Andalusia with many victims which is still under investigation (perhaps a broken junction).

Better not to post images on social networks
Sensitive information from people who post private images on social networks could be extracted using computer techniques by artificial intelligence and used to train it for various purposes, at least according to some who argue that from a photo depicting a person, from their gestures, clothing and related colors, and from objects in the background it is possible to train specific algorithms for example for targeted sales or advertising specifically designed for that subject without explicit consent. When using social networks the use is not free; in fact, the data entered is the commercial product and the more data provided to this questionable computer technology the greater the possibility of becoming precise virtual targets for specific commercial initiatives, thus becoming the product of these organizations.

Mediterranean cyclone lashes Sicily and Sardinia
Storm surges with high waves, violent gusts of wind and torrential rainfall are already affecting Ionian Sicily and eastern Sardinia regions due to a strong vortex that could also partly hit Calabria region, weather forecasts warn that waves could reach six to seven meters in height, and for example on the beaches near Catania,sand walls have already been prepared with bulldozers, boats have been brought ashore and beach facilities reinforced with wooden panels and sandbags, there are also red alerts and warnings for drivers to be careful around rivers and streams. To report on a different note but still regarding natural events devastating fires in southern Chile are affecting vegetation with several still-active outbreaks, eighteen people have died, a state of emergency has been declared with tens of thousands of people affected.

Increased disordered alcohol consumption after Covid-19
The lockdown situation sometimes even resembling a kind of confinement caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic with waves of the virus forcing people to stay at home and have limited contact while using masks to protect against possible infections may have led according to some to an unhealthy habit of drinking alcohol in a disordered manner (so-called binge drinking, more in men than in women) with health consequences that can be serious up to the formation of tumors. It should be noted that alcohol metabolizes into acetaldehyde, thereby damaging DNA, increases cellular oxidation tends to alter hormone levels, then for example for those who smoke it increases the absorption of carcinogens associated with cigarettes and tobacco.

Overheating forecasts for 2026
There will likely be no substantial changes regarding overheating in 2026 compared to the previous three years, all of which were over one and a half degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, therefore with unprecedented heatwaves, prolonged drought periods (peaks monitored from 2023 to 2025 were classified as extreme), as well as periods of intense rainfall with downpours and freezing waves with strong climatic anomalies will still occur. If the global current known as "El Nino" manifests during the year temperatures could rise further in addition to the warming caused by the greenhouse effect leading to new environmentally unhealthy records. There is concern about the increase in emissions linked to the use of generative artificial intelligence which requires enormous amounts of energy.

Considerations on 2025 temperatures
Although 2025 ranked third among the warmest years, and only by a little, since such data have been monitored, this does not mean that global warming is slowing down; in fact, these are average values that, as already pointed out by researchers, do not take into account that, for example in Iceland and Greenland temperatures were far above average due to intense heatwaves resulting in considerable melting of the Greenland ice, then there were also anomalous temperature spikes in parts of the planet generally considered very cold. The very fact that a sort of memory of glacier coring is being created in special cold pits dug in Antarctica could mean that glaciers are destined to disappear, and this is the only way to have a kind of record of what the planet was like before climate warming for unrestrained fossil fuel use.

Proposals to ban the Use of AI for explicit content
Many countries are considering imposing limits, bans, and safeguards on the use of an artificial intelligence application to post so-called deepfake explicit content online (essentially posting false images of a person in a "state of undress" without consent) created using a controversial chatbot. Malaysia and Indonesia are the first countries to have blocked the application, the United Kingdom is proposing legislation to punish those who post intimate images online without consent, France has alerted its cyber control platform, Italy issued a notice from the privacy regulatory authority and there have been various initiatives taken for example by Sweden and India. It should be noted that a large amount of energy is required to support these generative AI chatbots with inevitable related pollution.

Problems and disruptions due to heavy snowfall in Serbia
The heavy snowfall that affected western Serbia has caused power lines to fall resulting in electricity outages, then there are also reports of flooding (some even mention casualties) and there is a risk of being trapped due to congested roads caused by collapses of the snow that has accumulated significantly along the sides of the streets, in general the population faces difficulties moving on roads that are often icy and slippery. To report changing completely the topic but still within natural phenomena the melting of a well-known huge iceberg that broke off from Antarctica decades ago and is now reduced to little less than a third of its original size in oceanic routes; moreover, the concerning conditions monitored in Canadian glaciers which are experiencing increasingly rapid ice melting.

Bad weather in Greece and in the southern regions of Italy
A wave of bad weather characterized by extreme cold and icy gusts of wind is affecting Greece and the authorities have warned the population about potential dangerous situations particularly in the northern regions, them there is also talk of a very cold air front in Macedonia with temperatures well below freezing and generally snowy conditions. As for Italy there are reports of damage in Calabria and Sicily regions due to storm surges with some stretches of the coast being eroded by the waves (a motorist narrowly escaped being swept away by a wave), then additionally cold and snow also at low altitudes are causing difficulties for drivers. To report turning attention to Russia a snowstorm in Moscow, always due to a cold air front, is reportedly the worst in fifty-six years with heavy traffic and airports shut down numerous snowplows working to clear the roads.

Extreme heat in Australia and freezing temperatures in Europe
A heatwave is hitting southwestern Australia and particularly in New South Wales and Victoria, for example temperatures are reported to reach forty-one degrees Celsius in Melbourne, with other areas exceeding forty-four degrees. There is a high risk of fires with outbreaks already having burned over three thousand hectares of vegetation near the towns of Longwood and Walwa (at least two structures destroyed by fire). In Europe there are reports of icy wind gusts leaving hundreds of thousands of households without electricity in France, especially in Normandy and Brittany, tens of thousands of homes are also without power in the UK, while Germany is experiencing cold weather and heavy snowfalls, in Italy temperatures are well below minus twenty degrees Celsius in some alpine valleys in the north.
