Summary

In 2025, catastrophic floods claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions from the U.S. and East Africa to Australia and Nepal. Large-scale wildfires swept through regions like the Mediterranean and Southern California, and Hurricane Melissa tied for the strongest landfall ever on record in the Atlantic.
