In June authorities temporarily closed three Costa Blanca beaches in Spain's Benidorm resort after several people were stung by Portuguese Men O'War, although the stings were reportedly "minor".

Three Costa Blanca beaches in Spain had to be closed down by authorities after a mystery fish bit two young children, reported the Express.

The first incident was at the El Pinet beach in Elche, south of Alicante, when a seven-year-old emerged from the water with three severe bite wounds to his foot around 5.30pm on Friday.

Just half an hour later a similar incident was reported on the same beach. A 10-year-old child was reportedly bitten by a similar fish. The nationalities of the two children who needed medical treatment have not been revealed.

The bad weather on 9th July 2019 greatly affected Emilia Romagna and, in particular, a hailstorm lasting only slightly over a minute affected both the countryside and hills in the Cesena area.

As explained by producer Gianni Biguzzi "the event didn't last long but stones were as big as cherries. We still haven't fully assessed the damaged, but cracks are visible on Gea nectarines."

The Rimini area faced much worse, as hailstones that exceeded 5 cm fell in Bellaria - Igea Marina, San Mauro Pascoli, an area where there are a lot of vegetable crops.

40-ft-long whale washes ashore in Palghar, India - 10th for Mumbai district in 3 years

dead whale
A highly decomposed carcass of a 40ft whale washed ashore in Palghar on Wednesday. It was first noticed by locals around 8am, roughly 100 meters off Mahim beach's waterline, where a stench hung in the air. This is the tenth recorded incident of a dead whale washing ashore in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and nearby areas in the last three years.

Forest officials said the carcass got stuck in sand in the inter-tidal zone during high tide. "It could be of a baleen whale, though the species cannot be immediately ascertained because of decomposition," said forest officer Ruchita Sankhe.

Comment: Elsewhere another dead whale washed up on the coast of Turkey at Fethiye on July 10:

No evidence of man-made climate change, says new Finnish study

A new study conducted by a Finnish research team has found little evidence to support the idea of man-made climate change. The results of the study were soon corroborated by researchers in Japan.

In a paper published late last month, entitled 'No experimental evidence for the significant anthropogenic climate change', a team of scientists at Turku University in Finland determined that current climate models fail to take into account the effects of cloud coverage on global temperatures, causing them to overestimate the impact of human-generated greenhouse gasses.

Models used by official bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "cannot compute correctly the natural component included in the observed global temperature," the study said, adding that "a strong negative feedback of the clouds is missing" in the models.

Adjusting for the cloud coverage factor and accounting for greenhouse gas emissions, the researchers found that mankind is simply not having much of an effect on the Earth's temperature.

Comment: Policymakers will forge ahead with this massive lie despite numerous and credible evidence that man-made global warming is bunk.

Situation likely to worsen; Teesta barrage under threat; 3 kids drown in Chattogram, Cox's Bazar

Flood situation has deteriorated in 10 districts in the north, north-east and hill regions amid continued downpour in the country as well as neighbouring India.

At least three children drowned yesterday including two Rohingya boys in Cox's Bazar.

Thousands of people remain stranded in the flood affected districts, as road communications have been snapped by flood water.

The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre said the worst was yet to come as rivers would swell even further, inundating new areas.

Over 30 people have been killed and more than 130 buildings have collapsed following days of torrential rainfall that triggered mass floods and landslides across Nepal and two northern Indian states.

Severe monsoon thunderstorms have wreaked havoc across 14 districts of the Uttar Pradesh, killing at least 15 people since Tuesday. Landslides and floods caused major damage to the state infrastructure, leading to the collapse of at least 133 buildings, official data showed.

In the northern Indian state of Assam, the death toll from this week's floods has risen to at least 6 people. Thousands have been displaced from 1,556 villages spread out across 21 districts, authorities said.

Brush fire of 1,200 hectares burns out of control through island's central valley

Thousands of people on Maui have been ordered to evacuate two towns in the path of a spreading wildfire, Hawaiian officials and media said.

The 1,200 hectare (3,000 acre) brush fire in the island's central valley was uncontrolled on Thursday night, Maui's mayor, Mike Victorino, told a news conference. Firefighters were monitoring it overnight but it was too dangerous to battle in the dark, he added.

"We can't fight the fire tonight," he said. "We're not going to send any firefighters into harm's way."

A National Weather Service satellite photo showing smoke hanging over the island was posted online.

The brush fire was reported at about 10.30am and steady winds of up to 20mph fanned the flames, officials said. It jumped a highway and spread across fallow fields and more brush. Two fire department helicopters dropped water on the blaze to try to contain it.
