America's hottest summer on record
Summer in the United States and Canada experienced an unprecedented rise in temperatures, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recording the hottest summer since record-keeping began 132 years ago, with an average temperature of 23.6°C from June to August. Notably, four out of the five hottest summers occurred in the past five years, reflecting the impacts of climate change, while August 2026 recorded the highest temperature since records began in 1895. Additionally, water reservoirs in the western United States have fallen to their lowest levels due to drought, and Europe experienced severe heatwaves in June and July.
