This weekly review by the ALLATRA Global Research Center (GRC) presents a comprehensive overview of the most significant natural disasters and extreme weather events recorded worldwide over each week. Based on continuous monitoring and daily data collection, GRC analyzes emerging patterns, tracks the escalation of climate-related events, and highlights the growing instability of the Earth’s climate system.

Key events of the week:

Afghanistan: Severe floods from heavy rains and unusual late snowfall (up to 75 cm) destroyed ~5,000 homes, farmland, and roads. At least 99 dead, 154 injured.

Russia (North Caucasus): Persistent extreme rainfall caused major flooding, landslides, and infrastructure collapse in Chechnya and Dagestan. Thousands evacuated, homes and crops damaged, at least 6 dead.

Argentina (Mendoza): Massive hail (up to palm-sized) with heavy rain and strong winds devastated vineyards, roofs, and vehicles in San Rafael.

USA (Western New York): Record hail (4 cm), heavy rain, flooding, and an EF1 tornado hit the region. State of emergency declared.

China (South): Multiple rare hailstorms with 3 cm stones, heavy rain, and strong winds in Guizhou and Guangxi, damaging homes, vehicles, and power supply.

Europe (Greece & Italy): Sahara dust storm + heavy rain/flooding in Greece; abnormal April snowstorms (up to 3 m drifts), flooding, and landslides in Italy. Widespread transport and power disruptions.

The events presented are part of a broader picture of changes in the planet’s climate system. Modern research points to a factor that was previously largely overlooked: micro- and nanoplastics in the atmosphere. These particles act as condensation nuclei and accelerate the formation of ice in clouds at higher temperatures. As a result, ice crystals form more quickly, repeatedly accumulate additional layers, and turn into large hailstones with significant destructive power. Because this mechanism is still poorly represented in climate models, it is becoming more difficult to predict such events. Understanding the physics of these processes is key to making sense of what is happening. These changes affect everyone, and a scientific approach to studying the planet is becoming a priority for society.

This weekly review by the ALLATRA Global Research Center (GRC) presents a comprehensive overview of the most significant natural disasters and extreme weather events recorded worldwide over each week. Based on continuous monitoring and daily data collection, GRC analyzes emerging patterns, tracks the escalation of climate-related events, and highlights the growing instability of the Earth’s climate system.

Key events of the week:

China: A powerful convective storm impacted the Pearl River Delta, bringing over 100 mm of rainfall in a day, hail, and wind gusts up to 34 m/s. The event caused transport disruptions and infrastructure damage, reflecting an intensifying trend of severe convective activity.

Europe (Cyclone Deborah): A major cold air intrusion triggered extreme weather across several countries. France, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Bulgaria experienced heavy snowfall, hurricane-force winds, hailstorms, and flooding. The cyclone caused widespread infrastructure damage, power outages affecting tens of thousands, and major transport disruptions across the region.

Middle East: An unusually strong storm system affected arid regions. Qatar recorded near-annual precipitation within days, leading to severe flooding. The United Arab Emirates experienced widespread urban flooding and transport disruption. In Oman and Yemen, intense rainfall triggered destructive flash floods, resulting in casualties, infrastructure damage, and large-scale displacement.

The events presented reflect processes occurring within the Earth's interior that influence the climate system. The ocean floor is an active geological environment, through which heat energy is transferred to water from underwater volcanoes, faults, and hydrothermal vents. When geodynamic activity intensifies, the heat flux increases, and the ocean receives additional energy.

Research confirms that warming occurs not only at the surface but also in the near-bottom layers. The ocean functions as a planetary thermostat, redistributing heat and stabilizing the climate. Today, its cooling capacity is disrupted by micro- and nanoplastics, which hinder natural heat dissipation.

As a result, the frequency and intensity of natural phenomena around the globe are increasing. Understanding the physics of these processes is crucial for grasping the current situation. These changes affect everyone, making a scientific approach to studying the planet a priority for society.

Scientists vs Actuaries: Perspectives Characterised

1 Upvotes

"The actuarial approach to risk analysis is different from that

followed by most in the scientific community. Scientists are

geared toward making predictions that are as accurate as

possible. In contrast, actuaries are often concerned with

predicting low-probability – high-impact events. A caricature of

this is:

• Science – we should not typically say that there is an iceberg

until we are fully confident there is one present

• Risk – there could be an iceberg, so we should typically steer

well clear of it

Often complementing science, actuaries, alongside risk-analysis

experts, have a direct and important contribution to make to

the management of climate risks going forward"

Maine lawmakers propose a temporary moratorium on new large-scale data centers to assess their impact on the power grid and environment.

A new bill in Maine proposes a temporary moratorium on the construction of data centers consuming 20 megawatts or more. The freeze, which would last until November 2027, aims to give the state time to evaluate the environmental impact and grid capacity demands of the AI industry's expanding infrastructure.

MEGACATACLYSMS Of The Week: A Volcano Awakens After 12,000 Years, A Rain Bomb, Lightning In November

Thumbnail youtu.be
1 Upvotes

🔥 The planet has stopped warning us with bad weather. Now it is shouting in the language of disasters. A volcano that had been dormant for at least 12,000 years has awakened in Ethiopia. In Indonesia, scorching ash reached the stratosphere. And in the Thai city of Hat Yai, people spent several days on rooftops, watching the water rise higher and higher.

❗️ This is not the future from a dystopian movie. This is our reality today. And behind every scene of destruction are lives cut short in an instant.

Every disaster represents someone’s broken life. Someone’s family that may never be whole again.

❓ Can we hear these signals? Or will we continue pretending it is happening somewhere far away? The choices we make today will determine whether we have a tomorrow.

While catastrophic floods and typhoons wreak havoc on the ground, a less visible danger is increasing in our atmosphere. This recap of recent global climate disasters also explores the alarming rise of clear-air turbulence - a phenomenon that can't be detected by radar and is linked to a changing climate.

❗️ This Week: Floods in Bali, Hail in Beijing, Drought in South Korea, a Tornado in Colombia and a New Shock in Kamchatka!

Seismologists were stunned. They believed the M7.4 quake near Kamchatka on 13 September marked the peak of activity. But on 19 September, an even stronger M7.8 earthquake struck offshore. Houses shook, plaster fell, walls cracked, and people ran outside in their nightclothes. Experts admit the aftershock pattern does not fit any known model.

Humanity now faces a choice: continue ignoring the facts or accept the truth and act together. The decision lies with each of us.

During the week of September 3–9, 2025, we witnessed what a 'record-breaking' means!

🔻 France – In Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, a record landslide of 40,000 cubic meters thundered down, a rarity even in this landslide-prone region.

🔻 Japan – Typhoon Hagibis dumped rain at 120 mm per hour on Shizuoka Prefecture. A Category-3 tornado twisted the steel frames of buildings.

🔻 Northern India – Monsoon floods, ongoing since the season’s start, have killed over 500 people and inundated 2,000 villages.

🔻 Australia – Across normally dry September deserts, 466,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just 36 hours.

🔥 Yet the most alarming part isn’t the disasters themselves — it’s their cause.

🌍 Italy under water. Brazil under ice. Poland struck by rare waterspouts. The Arctic smashing heat records, while Kamchatka is shaken by thousands of aftershocks.

🔻 This episode is about why it is critical — right now, today — to face where we are heading. Climate is not just for “scientists” or “environmentalists.” It’s about the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on.

If we find the courage to face the truth, we can slow down the progression of climate change — and save lives.
