Extreme weather is causing worldwide destruction, from deadly flooding in Japan to devastating wildfires in the UK.<\/p>\n

At least eight people have died after what authorities described as “unprecedented” rainfall hit eastern Japan, causing flooding, power outages, and travel disruption.<\/p>\n

Many parts of Europe have also been affected. Since mid-July, wildfires have torn through Western Europe, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, firefighters in the West Midlands, in England, continue to tackle multiple blazes as extreme heat and dry conditions fuel fast-moving fires that have destroyed homes and forced residents to flee. Dozens of people have been treated by ambulance crews as emergency services respond across the region.<\/p>\n
