South Korea hits all-time temperature record
South Korea recorded its highest temperatures ever today, reaching 42.5°C in the city of Yangsan, prompting warnings of a severe heatwave in over 20 regions, with temperatures in many cities exceeding 38°C. The frequency of heatwaves has increased significantly in recent years, with the average number of hot days rising to 19 per year compared to just 8 days in the 1970s. This trend is largely attributed to climate change caused by human activities. It is expected that temperatures will continue to rise, along with the intensity of extreme weather events, amid the escalating global climate crisis.
