Nostradamus' prophecies for 2024: From war to natural disasters
Nostradamus’ mystic verses play out across the globe, guiding the course of history from war to the specter of natural disasters
By Nayana AshokJan 02, 2024
A sense of expectation, hope, and occasionally anxiety accompany the start of a new year. Some people have professed to be able to predict the future throughout history; Nostradamus is one well-known example. Their predictions have generated conversations and arguments as 2024 approaches, particularly in relation to world events like wars, natural disasters, and political upheavals.
Nostradamus' Predictions for 2024
Nostradamus, the French physician and astrologer of the 16th century, left behind a series of mysterious quatrains known as the "Centuries." Certain individuals believe that there are predictions in these sacred writings connected with 2024. Prominently, Nostradamus predicts a naval battle that might include China, inferring overall international worries. He additionally talks about natural catastrophes and how to prepare for the worst.
Due to their infamous criticism and equivocalness, it is challenging to authoritatively connect Nostradamus' compositions to a specific occasion. Although certain individuals have declared that they might draw connections between Nostradamus' quatrains and other historical events, these translations are oftentimes theoretical and unsupported by real facts.
It's urgent to look at Nostradamus' predictions fundamentally and consider the conditions of his time. He was an individual living in a turbulent period of social, political, and strict unrest. It's conceivable that instead of offering exact forecasts of distant future occasions, his quatrains caught the apprehensions and vulnerabilities of his time.
As per our understanding, these are a couple of Nostradamus' predictions for the year 2024:
Naval War
Nostradamus predicts a naval war, represented by the "burnt ship." This clearly implies a battle at sea. The prophecy predicts major naval engagements and tensions because of pressures between countries, possibly including China.
China is right now rising quicker than even the US, representing a cutthroat danger. There are concerns that the competition between China and the US could ultimately transform into a conflict.
The prophecy of Nostradamus for 2024 goes like this: 'The burnt enemy will become yellow due to fear, and there will be fear in the great ocean.'
Those who believe in Nostradamus's prophecies think that China is the "burnt enemy."
Whatever it is, we could surely expect a naval war this year. That's what his prediction says.
Natural Disasters
Nostradamus predicts the emergence of natural calamities in 2024, with a specific emphasis on calamities connected to environmental change.
He says, "The rise in temperature will increase, and there will be a huge expansion in enormous-scale flooding."
Notably, he specifies the issue of a worldwide temperature alteration and recommends that Earth face more ecological difficulties, like an outrageous climate and the chance of increased volcanic action.
New Pope
The role of the Pope is the most significant in Christianity. Pope Francis, who is 86 years old, is in this role at the moment.
His health has been problematic in recent months, and there are worries about his mental state. Nostradamus's prophecies indicate that a new Pope will be appointed this year. According to him, the new Pope will encounter difficult situations. The prophecy suggests that there may be strife inside the Catholic Church, and the selection of the next pope will be a difficult process.
The truth of these forecasts will become clear in due course.
Prophetic Rulers
In Nostradamus's book, the use of force to drive the king is mentioned. It's unclear exactly who he is referring to. A calculation, however, indicates that the UK is an island. The major focus is on Charles, who took over the crown last year.
Nostradamus foretells the advent of a new monarch known as the "King of Terror" or the "Third Antichrist." It is believed that this leader will instigate dramatic shifts and disruptions. It is possible through armed conflict and political unrest.
The British author Mario Reading states in his book "Nostradamus: The Complete Profits for the Future" that he believes Charles III, the third heir apparent, may not make it to the throne. His reading has potential outcomes as well. According to him, Prince Harry might succeed Charles.
Economic Crisis
What's more, the predictions demonstrate that a worldwide emergency affecting various countries is to come in 2024. Nostradamus predicts an extraordinary change in the environment by 2024. Cybercrimes and cyberattacks are on the rise, representing a danger to public safety.
It's critical to inspect Nostradamus' predictions for 2024 from a fair perspective as we dive further into them. Certain individuals find such forecasts intriguing and interesting, while others might dismiss them as mere speculations. Whether one agrees with these spiritualists' expectations, they keep on captivating the attention of the world. Their prediction gives us a lens through which we are able to view the coming opportunities and uncertainties.
Sir Rod Stewart has called off a series of concerts in the US as he recovers from a bout of flu, just weeks before his anticipated set at Glastonbury Festival. The 80-year-old singer, who was due to perform six shows across Nevada and California in early June, announced that four have been cancelled and two will be rescheduled.
Sharing the update on Instagram, Rod apologised to fans and expressed his frustration at having to take a break. “I’m devastated and sincerely sorry,” he wrote. “I’ll be back on stage and will see you soon.” The cancelled dates include multiple shows in Las Vegas and Stateline, Nevada, while the California concerts will now take place in September.
Despite the setback, Stewart’s headline appearance at Glastonbury is still very much on. He’s set to take over the festival’s famous Legends slot on Sunday, 29 June, more than two decades since he last played the Pyramid Stage in 2002. At the time, he performed alongside Coldplay and Stereophonics, but this time he’ll return as the oldest artist ever to headline the Legends slot.
Speaking on The Peter Crouch Podcast, Stewart revealed he was only allocated 75 minutes for his Glastonbury set but has requested an extra 15. “I play for over two hours every night, 90 minutes is nothing,” he said. He also shared that Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, his former bandmate from Faces, will join him for part of the show, making it a mini-reunion.

Slowing down but not stopping
Though Stewart has hinted that this might be his final major tour, he’s not ready to retire just yet. “This will be the end of big world tours, but I’m not hanging up the mic,” he said. Instead, he’s eyeing more intimate venues for future performances, possibly exploring a swing or Great American Songbook setlist.

Rod has faced several health issues this year, including strep throat and a recent round of vocal rest. Still, he seems determined to power through Glastonbury with his charm and energy. With hits like Maggie May and Da Ya Think I’m Sexy, fans can expect a career-spanning set worthy of the Sunday slot.

Resident Evil Requiem was described as a "bold shift for the franchise
Capcom has officially unveiled Resident Evil 9, titled Resident Evil Requiem, during Summer Game Fest 2025. The latest entry in the long-running survival horror franchise is set for release on 27 February 2026 and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Announced live on stage by host Geoff Keighley, Resident Evil Requiem was described as a "bold shift for the franchise both in tone and gameplay". The upcoming title will blend the series’ trademark survival horror with high-stakes cinematic action, promising a fresh experience for fans.
The debut trailer showcased imagery of a devastated Raccoon City, seemingly hinting at a return to the city that was destroyed by a nuclear missile at the end of Resident Evil 3. Scenes of ruined buildings and a dilapidated Raccoon City Police Department sparked speculation that the game may incorporate elements of open-world design.

One of the most notable additions is a potential new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, an FBI technical analyst. According to the trailer, Grace is drawn back to the location of her mother’s murder as she investigates a series of unexplained deaths. In one dramatic scene, she is seen restrained on a gurney while a mysterious figure refers to her as “the one... special one. Chosen one.” Whether Grace is the sole playable character or whether familiar faces like Leon Kennedy will return remains unconfirmed.
Capcom’s official website reveals limited details but emphasises the game’s focus on technological advancements, immersive gameplay, and a richly developed narrative. The publisher described Resident Evil Requiem as: “Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living.” The title is said to represent a new era for the series, aiming to deliver a heart-stopping experience grounded in the development team’s extensive experience with the franchise.
Speculation about Resident Evil 9 has been building for over a year. Capcom first teased a new instalment during its summer livestream in 2024 and followed up with another teaser while celebrating 10 million players of Resident Evil 4 Remake, which was released in 2023 to critical acclaim.
As anticipation grows, fans will be looking forward to more details in the lead-up to the 2026 launch, including confirmation of returning characters, gameplay mechanics, and how Requiem will build on the legacy of its predecessors.

Deepika Padukone joins Allu Arjun in Atlee pan India epic AA22xA6
Deepika Padukone has officially signed on as the female lead in Atlee’s highly anticipated film with Allu Arjun, tentatively titled AA22xA6. The announcement has come after her controversial exit from Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, making this casting a major talking point in film circles and among fans.
The film’s production house, Sun Pictures, introduced Deepika with a video of her training for what appears to be a fierce action role. Concept sketches depict her as a warrior queen, leaping into battle with a massive axe. The video includes scenes of her practising fight choreography in a motion-capture suit and even riding a CGI horse while wielding a weapon.
The visual cues suggest a fantasy-meets-science-fiction world with Deepika at the centre of it. This will be her first screen outing with Allu Arjun and her second project with director Atlee after the 2023 hit Jawan. The makers are calling it a “magnum opus” and have brought on top international technicians, including VFX experts who have worked on Iron Man 2 and Transformers.
Hollywood-based creators involved in the project have publicly praised the film’s script. From creature designs to large-scale battle sequences, AA22xA6 will be one of Indian cinema’s biggest cross-industry collaborations yet.

Exiting Spirit, entering strength
Deepika’s casting comes soon after her exit from Spirit, which led to a social media stir. While Sandeep Reddy Vanga seemed to suggest she made unreasonable demands, sources close to the actor say she simply wanted an eight-hour workday, a choice influenced by her becoming a new mother.
Vanga’s cryptic posts online accused an actor of lacking commitment, but fans and industry insiders were quick to defend Deepika’s professionalism. Some even joked, “She doesn’t need Vanga,” applauding her for choosing stronger projects over toxic work environments. Replacing her in Spirit is Animal star Triptii Dimri.

The Met Office has cautioned that these conditions could lead to travel disruption
A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued by the Met Office for large parts of southern England, the Midlands, and south Wales, with the alert in effect from 09:00 to 18:00 BST on Saturday, 8 June.
According to the UK’s national weather agency, intense downpours could bring 10–15mm of rainfall in under an hour, while some areas may see as much as 30–40mm over a few hours due to successive storms. Frequent lightning, hail, and gusty winds are also expected to accompany the thunderstorms.
The Met Office has cautioned that these conditions could lead to travel disruption. Roads may be affected by surface water and spray, increasing the risk of delays for motorists. Public transport, including train services, could also face interruptions. Additionally, short-term power outages and damage to buildings from lightning strikes are possible in some locations.
This weather warning for thunderstorms comes after what was the driest spring in over a century. England recorded just 32.8mm of rain in May, making it the driest on record for more than 100 years. Now, forecasters suggest that some areas could receive more rainfall in a single day than they did during the entire month of May.
The thunderstorms are expected to subside from the west during the mid-afternoonMet Office
June has so far brought cooler, wetter, and windier conditions than usual, following a record-breaking dry period. The Met Office noted that thunderstorms are particularly difficult to predict because they are small-scale weather systems. As a result, while many areas within the warning zone are likely to experience showers, some locations may avoid the storms entirely and remain dry.
The thunderstorms are expected to subside from the west during the mid-afternoon, reducing the risk in those areas as the day progresses.
Other parts of the UK are also likely to see showers on Saturday, but these are not expected to be as severe as those in the south.
Yellow warnings are the lowest level issued by the Met Office but still indicate a risk of disruption. They are based on both the likelihood of severe weather and the potential impact it may have on people and infrastructure. Residents in affected areas are advised to stay updated and take precautions where necessary.
