Uruguay |
The lack of rainfall at the beginning of the year has caused a significant reduction in the availability and access to water in the country, which has also been affected by the presence of the La Niña phenomenon in the region.

Tornadoes |
United States |
An eighth person has been confirmed dead after violent storms dropped a tornado onto Alabama and Georgia on Thursday as authorities assessed the “tremendous” damage. All of those killed were adults found near their homes.
Gov. Kay Ivey (R) declared a state of emergency in six Alabama counties where the tornado caused the most damage: Autauga, Chambers, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore and Tallapoosa. Gov. Brian Kemp (R) declared a state of emergency for all of Georgia in response to the extreme weather.
There were no reports of deaths in hard-hit Selma, Ala., but Mayor James Perkins called the damage “tremendous.” Schools across Dallas County, Ala., which includes Selma, were shuttered Friday as engineers inspected buildings for structural damage, said Leroy Miles, vice president of the county's school board.
Hundreds of students and teachers couldn't have made it to their classrooms anyway, he added, because debris clogged the roads. On Thursday, as many as 200,000 Southern customers reported power outages. By Friday afternoon, 15,000 customers in Alabama were without electricity, according to poweroutage.us, mostly along the storm's path across the center of the state. In Georgia, about 20,000 were reporting outages.
The rotating thunderstorm or supercell that produced the deadly tornado in Autauga County first formed in Louisiana on Thursday morning before tracking 500 miles into eastern Georgia. The storm produced tornadoes along its path and lofted debris as high as 20,000 feet. Some tornado debris was tossed more than 10 miles from the storm's path |

United States |
Heavy rain continued to drench California on Tuesday as an ongoing parade of storms left much of the state in disarray, with power outages, collapsed roadways, mud and landslides and treacherous floodwaters widespread across nearly the length of the state.
Authorities have attributed at least 16 fatalities to the onslaught of storms that began in late December. On Monday, flash flooding prompted the evacuation of all of Montecito and other parts of Santa Barbara County and also swept away a 5-year-old boy who remains missing. Early Tuesday, two people died in a crash on Highway 99 near Visalia, between Fresno and Bakersfield, when a tree fell on the road, the California Highway Patrol said.
About 210,000 customers had no power across the state Tuesday after gusty overnight storms charged from the coast to the Central Valley. More outages were possible as strong storms continued to move across the state around midday, bringing downpours, torrential rain and possibly some hail to San Francisco. |

Drought |
United States |
Severe drought conditions impacted many Western and Central states.

Lake Mead, the Nation's largest reservoir, is nearing dead pool status and is at the lowest level since it was filled in the 1930s. The Great Salt Lake is also near record-low levels. The impacts of the drought affected crop production across many states and sharply increased feeding costs for livestock. Many segments of the Mississippi River also experienced low water levels causing delays and reductions in river commerce. Extreme heat also developed for many days across Western and Central states. These excess heat conditions caused more than one hundred heat-related fatalities across Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Texas. The 2022 drought was one of the costlier droughts on record, with a diverse array of direct impacts across different regions and industries. $22.9b |
