This Week’s Global Weather Roundup

Section: Global Weather & Climate
This week, the sky is speaking loudly all over the world. And whether we want to or not, we’re all listening now.
In the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Isadora is gathering strength. Forecasters predict it may make landfall near Louisiana by the weekend. Emergency crews are prepping sandbags and shelters as the region braces for impact. Flights in and out of Houston and New Orleans are already experiencing delays.
Across Southern Europe, an intense heatwave has set in — with temperatures topping 110°F in Greece, Italy, and Spain. Local officials are urging people to stay indoors during the afternoon hours. Power outages and hospital visits are rising.
In Bangladesh and northeast India, monsoon rains have turned towns into rivers. Over two million people have been displaced, with roads and railways underwater. Rescue teams are delivering food and water by boat — and more rain is coming.
Meanwhile, in Eastern China, Typhoon Lan is swirling toward the coast. Airports in Shanghai are grounding flights, and evacuations have begun in low-lying areas. It’s the third major storm this month to threaten the region.
But even in the storms — there’s still hope.
In Athens, volunteers are distributing water bottles door to door.
In Louisiana, churches have opened their basements for families in need.
In Bangladesh, children are floating to class on handmade rafts.
And that’s the story that often gets missed.
Climate isn’t just about science.
It’s about people. Communities. Daily courage.
