Heatwaves Sweep Across Europe and North America
Recent weather patterns have seen intense heatwaves hitting several regions globally. Europe, in particular, is experiencing record-breaking temperatures. Cities like Rome and Athens have reported highs exceeding 40°C, causing widespread heat advisories and health warnings. Similarly, parts of the United States, especially in the southwestern regions, are dealing with extreme heat, pushing temperatures above 110°F (43°C) (Zoom Earth).
Monsoon Rains and Flooding in South Asia
In South Asia, the monsoon season is in full swing, bringing heavy rainfall and flooding to countries like India and Bangladesh. India has seen more than 22 rainy days this month, with certain areas receiving over 1300 mm of rain. This has led to significant flooding, impacting agriculture and infrastructure, and necessitating evacuations in the worst-hit regions (Weather25).
Tropical Storms and Hurricanes
The Atlantic hurricane season is also active, with meteorologists monitoring several systems for potential development. Although no major hurricanes have formed in the last few days, tropical storm activity remains a concern for coastal areas. The National Hurricane Center is providing regular updates and advisories to keep residents informed and prepared (Zoom Earth).
Wildfire Alerts and Drought Conditions
Meanwhile, the western United States and parts of Canada are facing severe drought conditions, increasing the risk of wildfires. Several large fires have already broken out in California and British Columbia, prompting evacuations and extensive firefighting efforts. Authorities are urging caution and preparedness as the dry conditions are expected to persist (Zoom Earth).
