A deluge across the northern hemisphere: The 30° to 40°N flood band
(SQAUK) — A global crisis is unfolding as severe floods, unprecedented in modern history, ravage cities and regions between the 30° to 40°N parallels. This latitude band, spanning the Northern Hemisphere, has been hit hard, from Iran to the United States, Japan to Spain. The scale of the devastation is staggering, yet the global media has largely overlooked this alarming trend.
The cities and regions along this latitude band have been very susceptible to severe weather events, such as heavy rains, overflowing dams, and rising rivers, causing widespread destruction. Relentless floods in Iran have destroyed ancient cities near the 32°N parallel. In Yemen, coastal areas around the 15°N parallel have encountered the worst flooding in living memory. India’s heartland, particularly around the 20°N parallel, has been devastated by monsoon rains, displacing millions of people—meanwhile, Japan’s urban centers around the 35°N parallel struggle to cope with the flooding.
BREAKING NEWS WORLD ALERTS ⚠️
Yemen has been having major flooding for weeks now – over 300,000 people displaced and est 100 + dead – I do believe in weather manipulation let alone natural disasters occuring – it’s a blame free war tactic to wipe people out or to wipe… pic.twitter.com/TsKwwg1Ncd— MəanL¡LMə♡₩ (@MeanLILMeoW) August 23, 2024
In Western Europe, Italy and Spain, situated around the 40°N parallel, have experienced the submergence of cities such as Venice and Barcelona. Rising waters have destroyed centuries-old buildings and infrastructure. In North America, both the United States and Canada have also been affected. Regions around the 37°N to 43°N parallels have suffered from extreme rainfall and flooding, resulting in significant loss of life and property.

The shifting flood band: A global threat in the making
Make no mistake: The current flood zone, concentrated around the 30° to 40°N parallels, is not static. It is expected to shift and expand, potentially affecting areas outside this zone. These areas could face comparable or even more severe flooding as the climate crisis escalates. This underscores the urgent need for global preparedness and a coordinated response.
Meteorologists and climate scientists closely monitor conditions in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around comparable latitudes, such as the 30°S to 40°S parallels. As planetary weather patterns become more erratic and unpredictable, countries like Chile, Australia, and South Africa could soon be in the crosshairs of the next wave of devastating floods.
The U.S. in the crosshairs: A nation at risk
It is particularly concerning that two-thirds of the U.S. states are located between the 30th and 40th N parallels, placing them squarely in the path of a destructive flood band. States such as California, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, among others, are at heightened risk of severe flooding and extreme weather events. The southeastern states are already experiencing unprecedented levels of rainfall, leading to the flooding of entire cities and the displacement of thousands of residents.

The intensifying floods have dire implications for these states and the nation. The continued onslaught of extreme weather threatens major urban centers, critical infrastructure, and agricultural lands. This could lead to widespread economic disruption, food shortages, and a significant increase in climate refugees within the U.S. borders.
The ongoing flooding crisis is caused by various factors, including extremely high levels of atmospheric moisture, rapid melting of snow in mountainous areas, and the potential impact of a large celestial body exerting gravitational forces on Earth. These conditions have led to widespread flooding, engulfing entire cities and displacing millions across the Northern Hemisphere.
A global catastrophe unfolding: What lies ahead?
As the flooding crisis worsens, the need for a coordinated global response becomes increasingly urgent. With the flood band likely to shift and expand, affecting new regions and countries, the world is on the brink of a disaster of unprecedented scale. It’s time for governments, media, and citizens to acknowledge the severity of this crisis and take collective action.
How much longer can governments and the media downplay the severity of this crisis? Will the world be ready for the next phase of catastrophic flooding as new regions are threatened in the coming weeks and months?
