Italy has recorded its hottest summer since 1950, with extreme weather hitting both north and south. Torrential rain, floods and landslides battered northern Italy, while the south faced prolonged heat, drought and water shortages. In Sonico, a powerful summer storm swept away a bridge, forcing hundreds to evacuate and closing a major state road.

A new Climate Impact Lab study estimates that El Niño could lead to up to 451,000 additional heat-related deaths worldwide between June 2026 and February 2027, compared with an average year. Researchers based the projections on temperature and excess mortality data across 24,378 regions, factoring in local climate conditions and vulnerability.

As one of the strongest El Niño events in decades intensifies, Buenos Aires has rolled out a 177-point emergency plan covering low-lying crossings, bridges, pumping stations and drainage systems. Argentina's weather service confirms near-100% probability of the pattern continuing through October, with Misiones, Corrientes and Santa Fe facing the highest flood risk. The Paraná and Uruguay rivers are expected to swell, threatening port access and the 2026-27 harvest, even as the extra rainfall could boost soybean and corn yields if it doesn't tip into catastrophic flooding.

Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency across California, months ahead of the main storm season, as forecasters warn this could become the strongest El Niño on record. NOAA gives it a greater than 90% chance of being "very strong," with a 75% chance of historic intensity. The proclamation mobilizes the National Guard, pre-positions flood supplies, and fast-tracks permitting to prepare for heavy rain, landslides, debris flows and coastal flooding, especially across Southern California.

Typhoon Dujuan has left a trail of destruction across Japan, triggering evacuation advisories for over 1.6 million people and claiming four lives. Japan Airlines and ANA cancelled 275 flights Monday alone, while even the Tokyo-Osaka bullet train was suspended mid-storm. Floodwaters swamped Kamakura's iconic station, and the storm forced an early close to the Tokyo Game Show. With rainfall through Tuesday threatening to break Japan's entire September monthly record, Dujuan, the country's 25th typhoon this year, is a stark reminder that storm season is far from over.

For almost 20 years, New Zealand has run one of the world's most ambitious tree-planting programs, approving nearly 9,000 square kilometres of carbon-credit forest, roughly 11 times the size of New York City. Under its Emissions Trading Scheme, forest owners earn carbon credits as trees grow, credits companies buy to offset emissions. It's made forestry more profitable than traditional sheep and cattle farming, but critics say the scheme leans too heavily on offsets, hollowing out rural communities and quietly pushing up the cost of meat.

China's Hukou Waterfall, the world's only large yellow waterfall, is putting on a spectacular show as autumn rains swell the Yellow River. Water discharge has surged to around 1,800 cubic metres per second, turning the falls into a thunderous cascade of golden, muddy torrents spreading up to 100 metres wide. Located on the Shanxi-Shaanxi border, September and October mark peak viewing season, when visitors can witness the famous "Smoke Rising From The River," "Rainbow Playing With Waves," and "Thunder On Dry Land" phenomena up close.

Typhoon Dujuan is battering Japan's Pacific coast, forcing at least 275 flight cancellations as it nears Tokyo with 144 km/h winds. Japan's Meteorological Agency warns total rainfall through Tuesday could break September records, with up to 200mm expected in the Kanto region. The storm has already knocked out power for over 4,000 households in Chiba, killed one person in Miyazaki, forced evacuation orders, and cut short the Tokyo Game Show, one of the world's biggest gaming expos, by a day.

The southwest monsoon began withdrawing from parts of extreme west Rajasthan, marking the beginning of the end of monsoon, even as India faces its worst drought in 17 years. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the withdrawal began later than the normal date of September 17, and conditions are favourable for it to extend to more areas of Rajasthan and parts of Punjab and Gujarat over the next three to four days.

Heavy rains have triggered flash floods and landslides across Kerala, claiming at least nine lives in just 24 hours, five in Malappuram and two each in Kottayam and Idukki. In Idukki's Kottakamboor, a mudslide crushed a shed sheltering three people, killing a brother and sister. With an orange alert issued for multiple districts and more rain expected through September 24, CM V.D. Satheesan has ordered hourly reviews, evacuations from vulnerable areas, and a ban on fishing at sea.

An aging dam in Pennsylvania is being demolished, marking a major change for the local river ecosystem. Crews have begun removing the Spring Garden Dam on Neshaminy Creek, a structure that no longer serves its original purpose. Officials say its removal will improve safety, recreation and allow fish to move more freely through the river. But the demolition also reflects a broader environmental debate: how should aging infrastructure adapt to a changing climate? As extreme weather and environmental pressures reshape waterways, removing obsolete dams is increasingly being considered as part of river restoration and climate resilience.

For communities across Africa, rain can mean the difference between a successful harvest and hunger. For generations, traditional spiritual leaders known as rainmakers have played an important cultural role, with communities turning to rituals believed to influence rainfall. But changing weather patterns and growing climate pressures are challenging these traditions. In Uganda and elsewhere, unpredictable rainfall, prolonged dry spells and shifting seasons are making it harder to rely on traditional knowledge alone. The changing climate is forcing communities to navigate the intersection of culture, spirituality, agriculture and increasingly unpredictable weather.

The Panama Canal, a crucial global trade lifeline, is facing mounting pressure as drought reduces the water available to operate the waterway. Intensifying dry conditions have forced authorities to consider limiting the number of ships crossing the canal, raising concerns for global trade, shipping costs and supply chains. At the heart of the crisis is a changing climate, with El Niño contributing to unusually dry conditions. As water levels fall, the Panama Canal’s struggle highlights how extreme weather can disrupt one of the world’s most important shipping routes.
