A long landslide in Niscemi in Sicily region in the province of Caltanissetta has isolated the town and forced about five hundred 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
