The Bulletin July 30, 2025
Why it matters: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Tsunami Warning Center (TWC) maps show Hawaii and a portion of Northern California are currently under a rare tsunami warning—the highest level of alert—while the remainder of the U.S. West Coast is under a less severe tsunami advisory. A previous warning for parts of Alaska's Aleutian Islands has been downgraded to an advisory. Similar warnings have been put in place by equivalent weather bodies in Russia, Japan and other East Asian countries. The TWC have said tsunami waves have already hit Alaska, with waves beginning to reach Hawaii now.

TL/DR: "Due to a massive earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for those living in Hawaii," President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social. "STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE!"
What happens now? The tsunami warning covers all eight of Hawaii's islands. Residents and visitors in coastal areas have been told to take action immediately by getting to higher ground if in a coastal area.

Canadian wildfire smoke hangs over Midwest, Northeast US, causing poor air quality
Parts of the Midwest and Northeast are experiencing poor air quality Monday as smoke from Canadian wildfires drifts into the U.S. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Monday in a social media post that '#Smoke from Canadian #wildfires is continuing to bring #AirQuality Alerts to parts of the Upper Midwest and Northeast today.' 'There is also a #SlightRisk of severe #thunderstorms across parts of the High Plains this afternoon,' NOAA added. The government's AirNow Fire and Smoke Map showed unhealthy air quality in cities including Milwaukee and Buffalo, N.Y., and parts of Detroit as of Monday morning. Other cities including Grand Rapids and Lansing in Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio, were listed as having air quality that was unhealthy for sensitive groups. Several states were under air quality advisories on Monday morning. The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre listed 743 active fires on Monday morning, including 298 that were considered out of control.

More Europeans are flying to Canada than ever before, aviation data shows
A record number of flights are scheduled between Canada and Europe this month. It's up 40% over the past decade, with Air Canada adding over 100 flights since last year. It comes after both sides showed less interest in traveling to the US since Trump's election. According to data from the aviation analytics firm Cirium, a record-breaking 4,276 flights are scheduled between Canada and Europe this month. That's up 5% since the same period last year, 14% since before the pandemic, and more than 40% over the past decade. The rise has been backed by flag carrier Air Canada, which added an extra 112 flights, or 34,500 seats, this month. It opened five new transatlantic routes, including Edinburgh, Scotland, and Naples, Italy, to Montreal. Flights between the US and Europe have been growing too, but not as quickly. Cirium data shows a rise of 4% between August 2024 and August 2025, and one-third between August 2015 and August 2025. Airlines have raised concerns that fewer people are interested in visiting the US since Donald Trump began his second presidency in January. For July and August, airlines cut capacity by 3.5% on routes between the US and Canada, OAG reported in March. "This sharp drop suggests that travelers are holding off on making reservations, likely due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the broader trade dispute," said John Grant, the travel data firm's chief analyst. While political tensions also saw bookings drop from Europe, price cuts helped encourage a rebound in May, Nicholas Smith, holidays digital director at Thomas Cook and eSky Group, told Business Insider's Thibault Spirlet in June. Nonetheless, it may be that more Europeans are now choosing Canada instead of the US for a transatlantic vacation. In April, the CEO of hotel giant Accor told Bloomberg that forward bookings for Europeans visiting the US this summer have fallen by a quarter. He added that they were instead looking at destinations like Canada and South America. And while many Americans are still enjoying their " Euro Summers," the post-pandemic explosion of such trips may start to wane.

More Europeans are flying to Canada than ever before, aviation data shows
Travel between Canada and Europe is booming — as both sides turn away from the US. According to data from the aviation analytics firm Cirium, a record-breaking 4,276 flights are scheduled between Canada and Europe this month. That's up 5% since the same period last year, 14% since before the pandemic, and more than 40% over the past decade.

And while many Americans are still enjoying their " Euro Summers," the post-pandemic explosion of such trips may start to wane. The dollar is about 11% weaker against the euro compared to the start of the year, when it was at near parity. That means traveling to Europe is more expensive than before. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar has dropped too, versus the euro, but only by 6%.
