The heat is not over

While half the summer season, record heat and extreme weather during this year are unprecedented but not surprising, scientists said.

The world has faced heat and deadly flooding and wild fires. But there is still no indication that the situation is improving.

Weather forecasting centres in Europe and America have warned that the months of August and September will be hotter than usual.

“

The heat waves we're seeing in the United States, Europe, China, are breaking records. This is no surprise”, he said.

Climate scientist at London's Royal College Friederick Otto said explaining why heat waves are happening is <x0... boring”, as it says they are constantly happening. However, she said that explaining why heat waves occur is important, “because it shows again how much climate change is involved in what we are actually experiencing”.

These effects will continue”, Schmidt said. “We will see these impacts this year and next year” with the natural warming of the Pacific by El Niño, which will add overwhelming impact on climate change caused by man, mainly by burning coal, oil and gas”.

The Great Heat

At the world level, June of this year has been the hottest June in history, and scientists have said July has been so hot that it has yet to end the month that it will be the hottest month in history. But there are some countries that have been hit by heat and victims.

Phoenix in Arizona, U.S.A., where on the last day of June and each day of July, the temperature has been marked by at least 43 degrees Celsius, marked the record for the longest heat wave, while temperatures did not drop below 32 degrees per night.

In El Paso, Texas, for 44 days temperatures were 70 degrees Fahrenheit [37 ° C]. Schools were closed in the state of Nuevo Lyon in northern Mexico a month earlier, as temperatures reached 45 degrees Celsius.

Miami faced humidity and temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit [38 ° C] for 46 days.

Beijing has also set a record of temperatures. In July, China's capital has recorded temperatures of 35 degrees Fahrenheit [35 ° C] for 27 days, while in June it has marked temperatures of 40 degrees. China recorded the highest temperature in history on 16 July in the city of Sanbao, where the temperature reached 52.2 degrees Celsius.

Record temperatures are marked throughout southern Europe. The temperature of 47 degrees Celsius was recorded in Sardinia, Italy. Palermo in Sicily broke the record of 1791, marking a rise in temperatures of 2 degrees. A temperature of 46 degrees Celsius was recorded in Gittio, Greece.

In mid - July, Spain reported nearly 1,000 deaths as a result of high temperatures. Most of the victims were elderly.

In Argentina, where the winter season is, temperatures of 32 degrees Celsius were recorded in June for four days. In July, meanwhile, no night in Buenos Aires was marked by temperatures below 20 degrees.

Lots of rain

Over 10,000 people have been evacuated from the Hunan province of central China, after torrential rains destroyed at least 70 homes. In Jakang, the rains caused landslides, causing material damage and killing at least one person.

Australia's Quisland, on just one day in July, recorded 13 times as much rain as it normally does.

In Dehli, India, thousands were evacuated because of the rains that caused floods and landslides. Found in this country, at least 100 people died because of the flooding.

In the United States, a sudden storm of rain caused casualties in Vermont, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

Fires

The scarce rains in Greece and Spain sparked wild fires, the war that proved very difficult. In the Canary Islands, 4,000 people were evacuated as a result of the fires, and others placed facial masks because of smoke. Four hundred firefighters were engaged to extinguish these fires.

Hot and dry temperatures caused over 160 wild fires in Israel in early June.

In parts of Canada, where there is no large population, there were large fires. In the north of Kebek, fires caused huge smoke, causing the air of this city to be among the most polluted in the world.

By the end of July, over 600 pieces of wild fires were out of control in Canada. A record total of 123,000 square miles [123,000 sq km] has been burned and fires have not yet been extinguished.

Water temperatures

Water temperatures in Florida and the savlers National Park reached 30 degrees Celsius. The Manate Bay marked the record temperature of over 37 degrees Celsius. Unofficially, this is considered the highest temperature recorded on the world's water surface.

High temperatures that alarmed scientists were recorded in the North Atlantic. World oceans as a whole during June registered record temperatures, and in July these records were broken. In the Arctic, melting glaciers also marked a record.

Ocean temperatures take a long time to grow and descend, said meteorology professor at the University of Northern Illinois, Victor Gensini. He said the situation by the end of the summer is not expected to improve.

Hot Forecast

“

The only relief he anticipates, separately in the Atlantic and in the Gulf of Mexico, is whether there is a hurricane or a tropical storm in these areas.

The view of the hurricane season has not yet begun.

After analyzing the extreme weather that was marked this summer, Pennsylvania University climate scientist Michael Mann posed a question: “How is it that we still use fossil fuels after all that we've seen? / REL
