Report on data of flowers blooming in the British Isles
Hundreds of native plant species are reported to have bloomed in the British Isles since January 1, at least according to a report based mostly on observations by ordinary people which will later need to be carefully analyzed by botanists to be confirmed. However the data show the impact of global warming with even a single degree increase favoring the flowering of an average of two and a half more plant species. These are alarming figures with consequences for the entire ecosystem, consider the role of pollinating insects that must adapt to the season of activity starting much earlier. Previous studies had also noted how plants in general on a global scale face limited water resources at the vegetative level when water demands increase and how the water balance of many regions around the world is negative.

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.

More bad weather in Italy with various controversies
Another wave of bad weather has hit some regions in Italy, for example there are reports of several fallen trees (in Rome on a bus) and landslides blocking roads, while in Niscemi in Sicily the number of displaced people has risen to about fifteen hundred due to a landslide, apparently accompanied by loud noises, also caused by ongoing heavy rainfall in the area; there are controversies over the management of funds allocated for securing a territory that has required interventions for structural hydrogeological instability for decades. To report shifting the attention to Indonesia that the death toll has risen to thirty-four in the West Bandung regency of West Java in the mountain village of Pasirlangu, with dozens still missing as rescuers search under torrents of mud and debris carried by torrential rains.

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.

Landslides and floods in West Java, Indonesia
Seventeen people are reported dead and around eighty are missing in the West Bandung regency in Indonesia due to floods and landslides caused by torrential rainfall that hit West Java a few days ago, rescue operations have already extracted victims' bodies from under the massive landslides that carved deep grooves, paralyzing traffic and public services. The village of Pasirlangu was particularly affected where rescue teams are still working, but further landslides are feared as the ground remains unstable. This type of heavy torrential rain with resulting disasters is typical in the Indonesian archipelago from October to March during the rainy season, for example this month sixteen people were reported dead on the island of Siau in North Sulawesi due to a severe downpour.

Bad weather in some regions of Italy with landslides
A long landslide in Niscemi in Sicily region in the province of Caltanissetta has isolated the town and forced about one thousand residents to leave their homes, it is likely a phenomenon linked to the heavy rainfall caused by the recent Mediterranean cyclone-hurricane which is still affecting the area while there is still a weather alert; then there are also reports of disruptions in Salento and other areas of Puglia due to heavy rain and strong winds. In Liguria region a landslide caused by bad weather is blocking the Aurelia, an important road for regional connections. To report on a different topic but still related to natural events it is reported that in the United States the Arctic cold wave would have caused some fatalities, then hundreds of thousands of homes were left without electricity and many states declared a state of emergency.

Intense cold wave hits the United States
At least one hundred sixty million people in the United States are affected by a polar system characterized by icy rain that could accumulate dangerously along with extremely cold temperatures; there are reports of chaos in transportation, power outages and severe cold with temperatures well below zero potentially life-threatening without proper clothing. Over two thousand seven hundred flights have been canceled and residents are being advised to stay indoors, for example in the New York state staying outside for just five to six minutes could cause frostbite, disruptions are also reported in Chicago a city usually accustomed to handling such extreme conditions but weather forecasts indicate that the polar cold wave may last for a week with very low temperatures.

Bad weather in Greece and record snowfall in Kamchatka
There are reportedly two victims in Greece due to flooding caused by heavy rain and thunderstorms (particularly in Papagou) that mainly affected Attica, followed by transportation difficulties, hundreds of firefighter interventions and disruptions for the population. As for the Kamchatka Peninsula there are reports of record snowfall with meters of snow accumulation for example around houses forcing people to leave from upper floors and dig snow tunnels in order to move around and obtain essential goods. To report on a different note but still regarding natural topics the growing interest in Greenland's mineral and natural resources which have become much more accessible after over a year marked by intense and unusual heatwaves that have significantly reduced the ice thickness resulting in rising sea levels.

Considerations on Mediterranean cyclone or hurricane
While the damage from the storms that have eroded entire stretches of the coasts of Sardinia, Sicily, and Calabria regions with infrastructure damaged, evacuated people, roads and businesses rendered unusable, boats sunk or carried onto coastal roads some say that it was more of a Mediterranean hurricane or "Medicane" than a cyclone; in fact, with waves perhaps over sixteen meters high or more likely around ten it is an extreme event of rare intensity due to abnormal temperatures compared to the average of the Mediterranean Sea. As in other cases already monitored in other parts of the world, it is a matter of overheating resulting in strong evaporation of water vapor and in figurative terms the formation of atmospheric rivers loaded with dense water vapor currents leading to intense downpours as well as violent wind gusts.

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).
