The flooded Bagmati River bursts its embankments in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 4, 2025, following incessant rainfall due to the continued influence of moisture-laden monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal, which triggers flooding in parts of the nation. In Nepal, the monsoon is particularly influenced by the Bay of Bengal, making it a major driver of monsoon-related disasters. During the four months of the monsoon season, from June to September, Nepal typically receives around 80% of its annual average rainfall of 1,600 mm, sometimes reaching up to 1,800 mm. Nepal ranks second after Bangladesh in South Asia and 20th globally in multi-hazard disaster risk. According to the 2019 Asian Development Bank report, floods alone cause an average annual loss exceeding USD 140 million, accounting for 1.4% of Nepal's GDP.

Wind and storm surge occur on Lama Monachile in Polignano a Mare, Italy, on October 3, 2025. Apulia plunges into winter. Just over 10 days ago, there is a late summer atmosphere with temperatures close to 30?C, while now heavy clothes and coats are needed to cope with temperatures typical of early December. This dramatic drop in temperatures, accompanied by heavy rain and thunderstorms, is closely linked to a cold snap from Russia, which takes advantage of a rare weather pattern for this time of year, characterized by a powerful anticyclone over Scandinavia capable of activating currents from the east towards the Mediterranean.
