Mexico: Hail and Rain Batter Stadium in Mexico City at End of Liga MX Game

Heavy rain and hail hit the Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City during the final minutes of the Pumas vs. Atlas match on Sunday, August 31. The sudden downpour flooded the pitch, the corridors leading to the locker rooms, and areas around the anti-doping rooms, forcing many fans to seek shelter. The post-match press conference for Atlas coach Diego Cocca was canceled due to the unsafe conditions, as waterlogged passageways made it impossible for him to reach the media area safely. Despite the severe weather, the match was completed, and the stadium remained affected by flooding even after the final whistle.

Residents Stranded as Yamuna River Floods Rise

Residents Stranded as Yamuna River Floods Rise

Flood-affected residents of a low-lying area stand on their rooftop on the banks of the Yamuna River in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025, as water levels rise following continuous monsoon rains. The annual monsoon season brings critical rainfall to northern India, but also triggers frequent flooding, especially in vulnerable low-lying regions. Rising river levels force families to seek shelter on rooftops or evacuate their homes. The floods disrupt daily life, damage property, and pose health risks due to waterborne diseases and lack of clean water. Local authorities often struggle to provide timely relief and evacuation assistance. Scenes like this reflect the ongoing challenges of climate vulnerability and urban planning in flood-prone zones, highlighting the human cost of extreme weather patterns intensified by climate change.

Scorching Heat Torments Displaced Families - Syria

Scorching Heat Torments Displaced Families - Syria

Many camp residents in Idlib suffer from the intense heat during the summer, due to the lack of basic cooling facilities and weak infrastructure, which exacerbates their daily suffering. Under the blazing sun, displaced families in makeshift camps across rural Idlib endure extreme summer temperatures on July 29, 2025. With little to no access to electricity, clean water, or ventilation, residents seek shade wherever they can and rely on rudimentary means to cope with the heat. The tents provide minimal protection from the scorching weather, and the absence of proper infrastructure worsens their hardship. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable, as humanitarian relief remains limited in the war-torn region. The heatwave highlights the fragile living conditions faced by thousands displaced by years of conflict, struggling not just with poverty and displacement, but also with climate-related challenges.
