America faces hottest summer on record
The United States experienced its hottest summer on record since data collection began 132 years ago, with average temperatures reaching 23.6°C during July and August. This surpassed the previous record set in 1936 and 2021 by 0.2°C, and four of the five hottest summers in the past five years have occurred, reflecting the effects of climate change. August 2026 was the hottest month ever, following a record drought and the significant depletion of major U.S. water reservoirs, which reached their lowest levels in August. Europe also experienced a severe heatwave with record temperatures in June and July, continuing the impact of the ongoing greenhouse effect.
