Hello John and Doves,

In this letter I wrote about the wildfires in the EU.  I've includes links to current wildfires burning in the EU and current wildfires burning around the world.

 

I also wrote about the recent high temperatures in Europe.  These recent heat domes have resulted in higher water temperatures that have resulted in the shutdown of nuclear reactors.  Also, low river levels have shut down nuclear reactors.

 

I wrote a bit about the U.S. - heat domes and drought and the hit on agriculture.

 

And I wrote about their predictions for the future - if they are correct - this is only the beginning!!

 

 

The Wildfires in the EU and Worldwide.:

 

"As of 12 August 2026, the area affected by fires has reached 585,531 hectares."  This is less than last year, "but exceeds the long-term average of the last 20 years of 243,189 hectares."

For comparison, in 2026, 2,943,064 hectares have burned in the U.S.  This is below the 20 year average even.

This shows current wildfires around the world:  These are satellite detected.  Over 44,000 detected.  Over 30,000 critical.

High Temperatures in Europe:

 

Today in Europe, August 19, 2026:  "approximately 203 million people are experiencing uncommonly hot temperatures.  Temperatures are approx. +2.7 degrees C warmer than the 1961 - 1990 for this date. 

 

In 2024, the global temperature was +1.60 degrees C above average and there were 62,775 heat-related deaths across 32 European countries from June to Sept 2024.

 

"Heatwaves are becoming more frequent and more deadly across Europe." 

European Heat Tracker

 

According to WHO, "Europe is warming at roughly twice the global average rate, making it the fastest-warming continent on Earth.."

 

Approx 20% of homes in Europe have air conditioning.  The heat dome has pushed temperatures up to 18 degrees C above the seasonal averages.  This has "produced such a disproportionately severe mortality impact.."

Add the river water levels and water temperatures in Europe - this has resulted in transporting of goods to truck/railcar (with already high fuel costs).  And nuclear power plants supplying electricity to the people have shutdown .

 

August 13, 2026:

 

"Romania has shut down its only nuclear power plant station because of extremely low water levels in the Danube river caused by prolonged hot weather affecting much of Europe."  This plant supplies Romania with about 20% of its electricity.

 

Hungary's nuclear plant also uses water from the Danube but has not yet shut down.

 

The Danube is Europe's second longest river - the water level has fallen to  "the lowest levels for 30 years in several countries."

Romania shuts only nuclear plant as heat causes drop in Danube River level

 

In July, France shut down 3 nuclear reactors due to "rising water temperatures."  Eight others are operating "at reduced power."   70% of France's electricity comes from nuclear power.

The Drought and Heat Dome in the US: 

 

August 17:  "Another heat dome will send temperatures soaring across the West, suppressing monsoon storms and worsening drought."

The Worst Spring Drought on Record Is Putting U.S. Crops at Risk

 

What's Coming?:

 

Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and intense.

Temperature Extremes | Climate and Health | CDC

 

"Extremely hot days are projected to occur more often.  The number of days above 95 degrees F is expected to increase across the United States."

 

"Heat waves are projected to get worse.  Multiday heat waves are expected to be longer, affect more of the country and become more severe."

 

"Warm nights are expected to become more common."  Where night time temperatures do not drop below 70 degrees F.

 

This will affect human health, daily activities, agriculture and the food supply and infrastructure and transportation systems.

Thoughts:

Are we seeing the beginning of 'the sun is given power to scorch men'?  Sure looks like the world is moving towards that.  Not enough water, not enough water for agriculture.  Not enough water for cooling nuclear reactors.  Heat stress on the electric grid and people's AC units.  Heat that's oppressing and deadly.  Limiting outdoor activities.  The northern hemisphere is moving towards fall and winter - a reprieve from the heat of 2026.  Will there be enough snow pack to 'fix' the low lakes, dams, rivers, etc?  Or will the drought continue?

 

Today, August 19 a friend told me her child was sent home from school at noon because of the heat.  I've heard of 'snow days' but not 'heat days'!

 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

 

Maranatha!
