Two joggers navigate a muddy footpath alongside the River Ouse in York, England, United Kingdom, on December 21, 2025. Despite the high water levels that partially submerge riverside benches and fences, pedestrians continue to use the trails as river levels peak following heavy rainfall from Storm Bram earlier in the month. The Environment Agency maintains a flood alert for the area, specifically affecting low-lying land from Lendal Bridge to Millennium Bridge, including popular routes like New Walk and Terry Avenue.

30 October 2025

Nepali students return home crossing a bridge in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 30, 2025, wearing umbrellas as rain batters the national capital under the influence of the weather effect created by Cyclone Montha of India. The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology issues an alert for 26 districts of three provinces as heavy snow and rain continue to batter the Himalayan nation under the influence of Cyclone Montha. Authorities warn of rising water levels and possible flooding in several rivers. The impact of the cyclone is likely to persist until Saturday, and residents living near riverbanks are urged to remain alert. Montha causes heavy rain in various parts of India. Schools shut down, train and road transport are affected, and authorities relocate vulnerable populations to safe zones in the coastal areas. Cyclone Montha, which originates in the Bay of Bengal and makes landfall in India's Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday night, affects Nepal from Thursday.

Protesters face riot police near a bridge on the A69 highway. Opponents of the planned A69 highway gather in the Tarn department in Maurens-Scopont for a weekend of protests called 'Turboteuf' at the domain of the Maurens-Scopont castle. After protesters try to break into the work site to reach a bridge, riot police and protesters scuffle. Riot police use volleys of tear gas canisters. The decision of the Cour d'Appel Administrative (Administrative Court of Appeal) of Toulouse greenlights the resumption of leveling works on the A69 highway. The Administrative Court of Toulouse decides on February 27 to suspend all works on the A69 project highway between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the Court to let the works continue during the time the appeal is judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69. They say they want to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca says all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structure are not close to the numbers given by Atosca. Moreover, several problems plague the work, such as water evacuation and protection of species. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') wants the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed. This takes place in Maurens-Scopont, Tarn, France, on July 6, 2025.
