Hurricane Kirk will reach Europe in a few days

According to Sky News meteorologist Christopher England, rain and wind are likely to return due to the low-pressure system moving in from across the Atlantic. While it is believed that the intensity of Hurricane Kirk will mostly have dissipated by the time it reaches the UK, it is still thought to bring enough bad weather to be classed as "Storm Kirk". Therefore, England should prepare for more weather misery with heavy rain and strong winds once again on the horizon. It seems that it may not be only the UK that is affected, as meteorologist England has advised that northern France and possibly even northern Spain may feel the effects of Storm Kirk. “The current track and intensity is still uncertain, but recent models suggest Kirk will run into northern France, bringing heavy rain and strong damaging winds, perhaps as far south as northern Spain,” he said. France, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany could all be affected by "Storm Kirk".

UN report says the world's rivers face the driest year in three decades in 2023

River flows around the world fell to record lows last year amid a record heatwave, jeopardizing water supplies in an era of rising demand, the United Nations weather agency said in a report. According to the State of Global Water Resources report released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Monday, “global water supplies are under severe strain, with five consecutive years of below-normal river flows and reservoir inflows.” Prolonged droughts have reduced river flows in much of North, Central and South America, and the Mississippi and Amazon river basins saw record low water levels in 2023, the report said, based on 33 years of data. The Ganges and Mekong river basins also experienced drought conditions, the report said. Overall, 50 percent of global watersheds showed low levels, most of them in deficit and reducing water availability for agriculture and industry.
