Vineyard affected by the fire, on the slopes of Cernego, on August 19, 2025, in Villamartín de Valdeorras, Ourense, Galicia (Spain). The fire that remains active in the Ourense municipality of Larouco, which crossed the Sil at several points to pass into the province of Lugo, continues this Tuesday without control and already affects about 20,000 hectares. As of Monday, August 18, it is already considered the largest forest fire in the history of Galicia. The wave of fires affecting Galicia has already devastated almost 72,000 hectares, becoming the second most lethal wave of fires in the Galician community, only behind the fires that devastated more than 95,000 hectares in 2006.

China: Cloud Fall Cascades Over Nanchuan’s Jinfo Mountain

This is the stunning moment that a mesmerizing waterfall cascaded down the eastern slope of Jinfo Mountain, leaving viewers in awe with its “cloud fall”-like appearance. On May 10, 2025, in Nanchuan District, Chongqing, the video showed thick white clouds dramatically tumbling down the mountain slope like a massive waterfall. The breathtaking spectacle occurred at the eastern foothills of Jinfo Mountain, a region that is known for its unique topography, which contributed to the formation of such rare natural phenomena. In the video, the clouds poured over the ridge in powerful streams, creating the illusion of liquid mist plunging from the peak. According to local meteorological explanations, the “cloud fall” was formed due to a specific combination of warm and cool airflows along the mountain slope. When temperatures rose on one side of the mountain, clouds were pushed by the wind toward the cooler side, creating a “cloud fall”. The video ended with the rolling clouds continuing their dramatic descent, blanketing the forested slopes below in a sea of mist.
