Record heat affected 1.3 billion people
The last summer was the hottest on record in the Northern Hemisphere, with 52 countries experiencing unprecedented temperature highs, including France and the United Kingdom, which surpassed their previous records by about 3 degrees Celsius. The climate phenomenon "El Niño" caused a significant rise in temperatures, affecting countries such as Honduras, Peru, Indonesia, and Sudan, where record heat and drought levels were recorded, leading to widespread wildfires, disruptions to maritime activities, and serious health and economic repercussions. The summer resulted in over 35,000 deaths in Europe alone, while severe drought in Sudan led to the Nile River's water levels declining and increased risks of food crises. The study's findings serve as a global wake-up call about the escalating impacts of climate change, with expectations that climate tensions will continue to rise.
