3 October 2025

Wind and storm surge occur in the Port of Molfetta, Molfetta, on October 3, 2025. Apulia suddenly experiences winter conditions. Just over 10 days ago, the region has a late summer atmosphere with temperatures close to 30?C. 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. This cold snap takes advantage of a rare weather pattern for this time of year, characterized by a powerful anticyclone over Scandinavia that activates currents from the east towards the Mediterranean.

A Kashmiri resident looks toward submerged homes on the outskirts of Srinagar, India, on Thursday, as floodwaters engulf dozens of villages across the Himalayan Valley, displacing thousands and fueling fears of worsening conditions. Vast stretches of farmland lie underwater, houses are damaged, and families flee to higher ground. With road connectivity snapped and shops shuttered, stranded residents face severe shortages of essential supplies as transport services remain paralyzed. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues a red alert, warning of heightened risks of landslides, flash floods, and further road blockages, while the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway--the Valley's lifeline--remains closed for the ninth consecutive day, deepening the crisis and cutting Kashmir off from vital supplies. Rescue teams begin evacuating vulnerable populations, but fear grips the region as memories of the devastating 2014 floods resurface. In neighboring Himachal Pradesh, at least seven people die in a landslide, underscoring the wider human toll of extreme weather battering the Himalayan region.
