Summary

Climate change is linked to the deadly Nepal floods, which killed 1,446 people, and has contributed to widespread disruption from torrential rain and flash floods in Barcelona, Spain, where one person died. Additionally, officials suspect arsonists may be behind wildfires simultaneously erupting across Italy's Amalfi Coast, forcing evacuations.
