Japan’s weather experts scrambled to check for possible tsunami waves after Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano erupted July 7, shooting ash 11 miles high and threatening Okinawa with potential flooding around 2:30 PM Singapore time.
The massive eruption on Flores island, located nearly 4,000 kilometers from Japan, sent dangerous pyroclastic flows down the mountainside while authorities warned nearby communities about deadly lahar floods that could sweep away everything in their path if heavy rains hit. Indonesian officials reported no immediate casualties but evacuated villages as volcanic debris covered homes and forced the cancellation of dozens of flights to Bali, showing how natural disasters can quickly spread chaos across borders.

Heavy monsoon rains have killed 104 people across Pakistan since late June, with children making up nearly half of all victims as families face collapsing roofs and deadly flash floods.

Severe storms dumped 100 millimeters of rain in just one hour across Spain, submerging cars and flooding tourist hotspots like Zaragoza and Barcelona while authorities issued warnings for 25 provinces.
The storms hit during peak summer season when thousands of tourists visit the country, forcing the Spanish Military Emergency Unit to deploy rescue teams after more than 30 flood-related incidents were reported. Weather officials placed eight provinces under orange alerts while the Ebro River reached dangerous levels, trapping visitors and locals in what became a nightmare for Spain’s tourism industry.
Meanwhile, southern regions like Valencia and Murcia faced completely opposite conditions with temperatures soaring near 40 degrees Celsius, showing how extreme weather can split the country in one day.

Weather experts have warned that 20 Nigerian states face serious flood risks this July, causing thousands of families to pack up and move to safer areas. Despite receiving over 620 billion naira in special flood prevention money since 2012, states like Lagos, Sokoto, and Benue still struggle with poor drainage systems that get blocked easily during heavy rains.
Families in danger zones are clearing out their belongings and staying with relatives in higher areas, while some states like Adamawa have released 700 million naira to buy emergency supplies before the floods hit. Recent flooding in May already forced over 116,000 people from their homes across 12 states, showing how serious this year’s rainy season has become.

Severe flooding hit Kogi and Ondo states after three days of heavy rain, washing away more than 500 homes in Kabba town and killing over 1,500 farm animals. The disaster destroyed churches, mosques, and the house of a local chief, while blocked drainage systems made the damage worse.
Seven bridges collapsed in Ondo communities, trapping residents who can no longer reach their farms or markets to make a living. Hundreds of families now have nowhere to live after losing everything to the floodwaters that swept through their neighborhoods.
