Extreme temperatures are also threatened by the melting of Greenland's ice

The hot air carried by North Africa has increased European temperatures on July 25th for two, three or four degrees Celsius, the World Organisation's spokeswoman for Meteorology has said, describing this phenomenon as “absolutely incredible”.

Zallis has said at a UN meeting in Geneva that “according to the forecasters, atmospheric movements will now carry heat towards Greenland” what can result from melting the ice layer under the original record in 2012.

We don't know for sure whether the 2012 record will be exceeded, but it's close to”, she said.

The ice layer in Greenland is a key part of the global climate system, so melting it would result in rising sea level and other climate changes.

The ice in Greenland has melted at high speed in recent weeks, Nullis said, citing data from a climate scientist.

In July alone, 160 billion tons of ice have been lost due to melting. This is equal to 64 million Olympic swimming pool”, it added.

Paris has recorded the highest temperature ever on July 25th, 42.6 degrees Celsius, until the highest red alarm has been released in northern France.

Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have also registered record temperatures of 41.8 degrees Celsius, 41.5 degrees Celsius, respectively.

Britain, meanwhile, has marked the highest temperature for July, 38.1 degrees Celsius.
