According to him, these storms could cause massive disruptions to power grids, communication systems, and technological infrastructure.
Brazilian mystic Athos Salomé, widely known as the “Living Nostradamus,” has drawn global attention with his unsettling predictions for 2026, warning of destructive solar storms, escalating international conflicts, and extreme weather events. Salomé, who claims he accurately predicted the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, says the coming year could bring serious challenges for the world—particularly through natural disasters and rising geopolitical tensions.
His visions, shared in interviews with media outlets such as Unilad, have sparked both concern and skepticism among experts.
Solar Storms as the Greatest Threat
Salomé highlights solar storms as the most serious danger in 2026, predicting their peak around March. According to him, these storms could trigger widespread disruptions in electricity networks, communication systems, and technological infrastructure.
“Since 2024, we have observed increased solar activity and a trend toward growing instability. This is not an exaggeration, but a real risk supported by science,” he told Unilad, emphasizing the need for preparedness. He warns that the storms could strike “quickly, with little warning,” leading to power outages and technological failures in affected regions.
NASA has confirmed that solar storms—caused by eruptions of charged particles and magnetic fields from the Sun—can disrupt Earth’s magnetic field and potentially lead to power outages. Scientists recorded the beginning of a new solar cycle in November 2024, which occurs approximately every 11 years. However, NASA states that the general public is unlikely to be significantly affected, according to reports by the Mirror.
Extreme Weather and Climate Disruptions
Beyond solar storms, Salomé predicts a rise in extreme weather events throughout 2026, including unprecedented heatwaves, droughts, and water shortages that could threaten agriculture and create economic difficulties. He also warns of stronger hurricanes and typhoons capable of devastating coastal regions and disrupting global trade routes.
Rising Global Conflicts
Salomé expresses deep concern about the escalation of international conflicts, particularly in relation to tensions between Russia and Europe.
“Fears of World War III reached a peak toward the end of 2025 due to Russian threats against Europe, and in 2026 these conflicts could become even more intense,” he claims. He specifically points to Russia’s expansion in the Arctic, where Moscow is allegedly relocating missile systems to strategically important areas.
“This increases the likelihood of direct confrontation with NATO,” Salomé said, adding that Russia could mobilize up to 800,000 reservists by March to strengthen cybersecurity and air defense systems.
He also foresees further escalation in Ukraine, noting that a proposed peace deal between Washington and Moscow—potentially involving the surrender of parts of Ukrainian territory—could further complicate the situation.
In addition, Salomé predicts rising tensions in Asia, particularly around Taiwan, where China may take advantage of global instability to implement measures such as a blockade.
Expert Skepticism and Calls for Caution
While Salomé’s predictions continue to attract public attention, experts urge caution. Dr. Eleanor Vance, Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford, notes that such prophecies are often vague and difficult to verify.
“Geopolitical and climate risks certainly exist, but linking them to prophecies can distract from serious analysis and evidence-based planning,” she said. NASA has similarly downplayed the likelihood of major impacts from solar storms on daily life, emphasizing preparedness over panic.
