Severe Flooding in Nagoya, Japan (4:03)
Nagoya of Japan, has been hit by record-breaking rainfall and severe flooding after an intense rainstorm swept across the Tokai region. Nagoya recorded 104.5 mm of rain in just one hour, the highest hourly rainfall since records began in 1890.

Flooding and rapidly rising water levels were reported around the Ueda River in Nagoya’s Tenpaku Ward, while roads and underpasses across the city were inundated. The Ueda River area also suffered damage to river embankments.

Authorities issued the highest-level emergency warnings in parts of Aichi and Gifu as rivers rose and transportation was severely disrupted. More heavy rain is expected across the region, raising concerns over further flooding and landslides.

"The Sun fired its last real shots of September in the opening days of the month: an M3.0 flare on the 2nd, followed by an M1.2 on the 4th and an M1.0 on the 5th. Nothing else reached M-class for the remaining twenty-five days. A minor G1 geomagnetic storm on the 8th was the only disturbance of any consequence at Earth, and on the 18th the solar disk went completely blank, one of only a handful of spotless days so far this year. The monthly sunspot number dropped to 64.9, down eleven points from August's 76 and well below July's 78.1. A C8.6 flare on the 30th came close to the M-class line, but the direction of travel is clear: Solar Cycle 25 is sliding away from its peak... we might see the impact this winter.

That slide and what's building in the Pacific are two sides of the same process. The three strongest El Niños of the modern record, 1982-83, 1997-98 and 2015-16, all arrived as the Sun was winding down or bottoming out, and the current event is following the same script. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center reported on September 10 that sea surface temperature anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific had pushed past +3.0°C, with the Niño 1+2 region averaging +3.4°C for August, and kept the odds of a very strong El Niño this fall and winter above 90 percent. CPC went further this time, putting a 75 percent chance on the October-December season exceeding every El Niño on record since 1950. The International Research Institute's mid-September outlook assigned zero probability to either La Niña or neutral conditions all the way through early 2027. The planet's weather didn't wait for the peak.

Japan took the hardest typhoon hit of the month. Typhoon Dujuan sideswiped the Kanto region on the 21st and 22nd, and the island of Oshima, south of Tokyo, recorded 832 mm (32.8 inches) of rain in 48 hours, the highest total since records began at the station. Tokyo's Edogawa ward logged its highest 24-hour rainfall ever. Landslides and floods left 12 dead and three missing across Chiba, Kanagawa and Miyazaki.

The Pacific's hurricane season produced two monsters. Hurricane Lowell reached Category 5 before passing just west of Niihau on the 8th, dumping nearly 20 inches of rain on Hawaii's western islands and knocking out power to 90 percent of Kauai. It killed three people, two on Kauai and one on Oahu, and prompted Hawaii's first-ever tornado watch.

Hurricane Polo formed on the 20th and exploded into a 180-mph Category 5 storm within two days, the record-tying third Category 5 of the eastern Pacific season. It came ashore in Baja California Sur as a Category 2 on the 29th, crossed the Gulf of California and made a second landfall near Guaymas, Sonora, killing at least seven in Mexico. Its moisture had already been feeding flood rescues across New Mexico since the 23rd, and as the month closed, flood watches stretched across 11 US states as Polo's remnants poured more rain onto the already flood-struck Southwest.

In Nepal, the toll from August's catastrophic glacial flood down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers kept climbing through September. By the 26th, Nepal counted 1,453 dead and 5,285 still missing, among them 636 foreign nationals from 35 countries, while Tibet reported 43 dead and 519 missing on its side of the border. Barely a month later, the rains returned: floods and landslides swept away houses across the country in the last days of September, killing at least 27 as 18 inches of rain fell in four days. A landslide also dumped a huge volume of debris into Nepal's Chaulani river early in the month, and in India a village in West Sikkim was struck by a massive landslide after days of continuous rain. In China's Sichuan province, an early evacuation was the only reason a huge landslide on the 17th didn't turn into another death toll.

The mountains turned deadly in another way. On the 6th, an avalanche thundered down the Muztagh Ata glacier in China's Xinjiang region, sparing everyone in its path. A day later, an avalanche on Mount Mizhirgi in Russia's North Caucasus, caught on camera, struck a group of 33 climbers in the Bezengi Gorge; by the 9th, 13 bodies had been recovered.

Winter showed up early across the Northern Hemisphere. A foot of snow fell on Crystal Mountain, Washington, on the 14th. Heavy early snow blanketed the Romanian Carpathians on the 23rd, and the next day a cold snap brought early snow to Mount Pip Ivan in Ukraine. By the 28th, September snow had buried the Himalayas.

Seismically, September was a breathing space after August's back-to-back disasters. The strongest quake of the month, an M6.6 initially registered as M7, struck off New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands on the 25th with no tsunami threat. The death toll from August's M7.7 Flores earthquake in Indonesia was finalized at 136, with 1,776 injured, making it the country's deadliest quake since 2022."

"There is NO such thing as natural weather at this point" - Dane Wigington (25:05)
Declassified CIA files reveal a long-standing program of weather modification, where chemicals are dumped into the atmosphere to alter climate patterns. Geoengineering expert Dean Wigginton explains that this is not just weather warfare, but also chemical and biological warfare. Lab testing of rainwater has confirmed the presence of graphene, polymer fibers, aluminum, and other toxins, which are dispersed by unmarked aircraft flying in grid patterns.
