United States (North Dakota)

In early May 2025, North Dakota battled a series of wildfires, with at least 16 reported across the state. Significant damage occurred on the Turtle Mountain Reservation near the Canadian border, where three major fires burned roughly 6.5 square miles. Dry and windy conditions, combined with drought, exacerbated the fires’ spread. The National Guard and multiple agencies joined efforts, and while most fires are now contained, some remain active.

Chile

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast of Chile and Argentina in the South Atlantic Ocean on May 2, prompting brief tsunami warnings and evacuations. Although there were no reported casualties or damage, Chilean authorities ordered evacuations along the Strait of Magellan and at Antarctic research bases due to the potential tsunami threat.

United Kingdom

The UK is facing early drought conditions that are already impacting crop production, with some crops failing due to a notably dry spring. England recorded its driest March since 1961 and received only half the average rainfall in April. Farmers have begun irrigating earlier than usual, and reservoir levels are significantly low, particularly in the north. The Guardian

India-Pakistan Tensions Over Water Resources

India conducted airstrikes on nine sites in Pakistan, including the Neelum-Jhelum hydropower project, reportedly killing at least 26 people. These strikes were in response to an April 22 attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. India's actions, including lowering sluice gates at the Baglihar dam to restrict Chenab River flow, may drastically impact Pakistan's water supply, especially during the dry season. Pakistan has warned that such actions would be considered an "Act of War." Time+1Latest news & breaking headlines+1The Guardian

📊 🌍 Climate Warning

A recent study warns that rising global temperatures are expected to increase the spread of deadly fungal pathogens such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus across Europe, Asia, and America. These fungi primarily affect the respiratory system and agricultural crops, posing significant public health and food security threats
