Many parts of the world are experiencing the record heat of this summer, with temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit [40 ° C] in places where 35 degrees have been highest.
The biggest fires in the forest are those of California, after fires that burned Greece's coast.
Some Asian cities have also reached the highest ever recorded temperatures. A new study warns that these and other signs of global warming will become more frequent.
Officials in California say a fire that started a week ago has turned into the biggest fire in this American country's history.
Researchers at the University of California say that climate conditions that enable these large fires are emerging earlier and last longer. Officials are warning residents to prepare for further.
The circumstances we had seen at the peak of the fire season already appear from the beginning of the” season, says Ken Pymlott, director of California firemen.
Forest fires have included Europe. The deadliest fire in Greece's history killed over 90 people last month. Fires have also erupted in forests of northern countries, such as Sweden and Latvia.
Many European and Asian cities are experiencing heat waves with the highest temperatures ever recorded.
Extreme heat is also affecting agriculture. Farmers are collecting crops earlier than usual, and prolonged drought has reduced the quantity and quality of fruits and vegetables.
In Switzerland, the heat is killing fish in the Rin River. The Swiss Army supplied water to animal farms in the Vaud region.
The military's “services are offered free of charge, as we are in a disaster situation”, says Denis Freidewaux, a local Swiss official.
A new study says that the levels targeted in the 2015 Paris climate deal may not be enough to stop the harmful rise in temperatures. The countries agreed to try not to allow the world's average temperatures above 2 degrees Celsius from the level registered before the industrial revolution. The latest research by the Australian National University, the University of Copenhagen and other institutions concludes that even if the participating countries adhere to the agreement, polar ice smelting processes, and the release of the Metane from the tray of seas can in the future increase Earth's temperature by 4 degrees, making many parts of the globe uninhabitable.
Meanwhile, unusual heat waves that are hitting Europe and Asia are expected to become more common.
