Difficult search for missing people in Nepal Rescuers face a tough task searching for missing people among mud and debris as the force of the disastrous flood in Nepal might have carried bodies all the way to India, there are reports of over six hundred victims and almost three thousand missing, some of various nationalities. Lines of pilgrims returning from Mount Kailash are among the missing, along with many tourists heading to the Himalayan peaks and climbers with their guides, apparently a large number of Indian tourists are unaccounted for. To report on a different note but still related to natural events the wave of bad weather in Italy with hailstorms and large hailstones in the North, damaging historical heritage in places like Cremona, while in the South temperatures remain very high and in Sardinia some areas are approaching forty-five degrees Celsius. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 29, 2026

Another flood feared in Nepal After the disastrous flood described figuratively as a "tsunami" in the valley in Nepal's Rasuwa district there are fears that another flood could occur since the fractured ice mass that fell from a high altitude in the Himalayan range dragging rocks, debris and other material with it could form a kind of dam on the Bhote Koshi river leading to another flood when it gives way under the water pressure. Chinese rescue efforts are reportedly suspended as a precaution, while the death toll has risen to over five hundred with over two thousand missing. To report on a different note but still on natural topics unusually high temperatures have been recorded in Tunisia (forty-six degrees Celsius in Tunis) and several wildfires in Algeria driven by drought and high temperatures causing dozens of fatalities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 28, 2026

A glacier collapses between Nepal and Tibet There could be over three hundred victims and around a thousand missing due to the collapse of a glacier tongue that stretches between Nepal and Tibet. They are talking about an earthquake of over magnitude four caused by the fall of the ice mass from high up down hundreds of meters, resulting in a violent debris-filled muddy flood in a Himalayan valley in the Rasuwa district of Nepal, the flood swept away village houses, bridges, tourist buses and people in the area. As usual global warming made the glacier unstable melting and cracking the ice tongues although experts are still studying the dynamics of the detachment and collapse of the various broken ice masses and how they caused the subsequent disastrous flood of the Bhote Koshi river. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 27, 2026

A tornado causes damage in southwestern France The Aude region in southwestern France was hit by a strong vortex, with reports of forty-one injured (two in critical condition) and about three hundred houses damaged in the village of Pomas causing panic among the population. Over fourteen hundred homes were left without electricity, and a well-known cycling race was canceled; in the nearby village of Arquettes-en-Val winds reached almost one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour. To report shifting attention to Italy a tornado caused damage in an area in the province of Varese in Lombardy region with roofs torn off, trees uprooted, warehouses and fields damaged; while in the province of Grosseto in Tuscany region strong gusts of wind knocked down several trees on the main road obstructing traffic. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 26. 2026

Huge wildfire between Nevada and California in the U.S. A fire covering over sixty square kilometers is consuming vegetation near Peavine Peak in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada close to the California border, causing at least six injuries, burning houses and forcing ninety thousand people to evacuate; it is reported that the fire was caused by human activity but there is no information on whether it was intentional or accidental. Forty-two thousand people have been urgently evacuated due to flames approaching the University of Nevada and then tens of thousands more need to be ready to evacuate. To report shifting the focus to Italy high temperatures have been reported in areas of Puglia and Sicily, with peaks above forty degrees Celsius and in the coming days especially in Sicily the African heatwave could intensify. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 25, 2026

Collapse at a landfill in Guinea due to heavy rains There are said to be thirty victims, six injured and several houses destroyed because of the collapse of a kind of "mountain" of waste at a large landfill in Conakry, the capital of the country; there were talks of evacuation warnings that the authorities had given to people living near the large open-air landfill, but many had stayed in the area. Guinea has the largest bauxite reserves and the country is also rich in iron, gold, diamonds and other minerals, but despite this well over half of the population lives in poverty. To report on a different note but still staying on natural events at least thirty-seven people (mostly lightly) injured by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan with its epicenter in the southern part of Ibaraki Prefecture; the tremors were clearly felt even in Tokyo. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 24, 2026

Overheating of the seas fueled by global currents 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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 22, 2026

Bad weather in Germany and Italy 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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 21, 2026

Experimental innovative treatment for skin tumors 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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 20, 2026

High risk for the marine ecosystem and coastal communities 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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 19, 2026
