The summer of extreme temperatures continues with record - hot waves this month on all four continents of the northern non - tropical hemisphere. On Monday, Japan recorded a temperature that had never been reached the island since data registration began in the 1800 ' s.
Kumagga, a city in northern Tokyo, registered 41.1 degrees Celsius in the middle of a heat wave for weeks that has caused many casualties. Extreme temperatures are affecting other countries in East Asia; South and North Korea have recorded record temperatures of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit [40 ° C].
And for this kind of heat wave, scientists have warned, when they sound the alarm bells for warming the planet through greenhouse gases emissions. “The consequences of climate change are not more invisible”, scientists say, we're seeing them in real time, in the form of unprecedented heat waves, floods, droughts and massive fires.
Much of Europe is locked in by a massive wave of high pressure that enables tropical heat to reach the Arctic. The temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit [32 ° C] have spread to the northern coast of Scandinavian coasts, marking record records in Sweden, Finland, and Norway at stations above the Arctic Circle.
As a result, unprecedented fires have been verified in the suite that have led it to seek help from other countries, such as Italy, with more resources to combat fires. Great Britain has also experienced its worst and hottest summer.
In the Sahara Desert, North Africa, the record of 51.3 degrees Celsius was registered on July 5th, and that was in Ourgla, Algeria. An extreme heat wave hit Canada this month, with at least 70 casualties in Kekbek.
While in the United States, the July heat has stretched from North East to Southwest. Cold and hot, moisture or drought, we experience the natural weather conditions all the time, but climate changes are now turning their finger against us, making certain types of extremes more frequent and intense.
