Casualties and evacuations from extreme weather across China, Canada, and Europe
The summer of 2026 has witnessed extreme weather phenomena across various regions worldwide, with a particular focus on the impacts of climate change. In China, Cyclone Dolphin caused heavy rains and overflowing rivers, leading to the evacuation of over a million people and widespread flooding, with harsh conditions expected to persist. In Canada, a woman died attempting to escape a large wildfire, and another fire broke out from which more than 20,000 people were evacuated. The country is experiencing one of its worst wildfire seasons in decades, with over 4 million hectares burned so far. Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave and severe drought, with temperatures rising above previous historical highs. Agricultural crops, especially corn, have been severely affected—potentially decreasing by up to 35% in France—due to water shortages and soaring temperatures. Data indicates that heatwaves and droughts are becoming more frequent and intense, reflecting the escalating impact of climate change on the planet.
