Global summer sets heat record
The year 2026 experienced the hottest summer on record in the Northern Hemisphere, with over 1.3 billion people facing the consequences of severe heatwaves. Many countries broke their all-time temperature records. To escalate the crisis, the El Niño phenomenon caused unprecedented rises in temperatures, leading to severe droughts and widespread wildfires in regions such as Indonesia and Brazil. Europe also saw record-breaking heatwaves that resulted in over 35,000 heat-related deaths. Additionally, drought further lowered the Nile River's water levels in Sudan, delaying essential rains for agriculture and triggering a severe food crisis. The effects of El Niño continue to intensify, with its peak expected by the end of the year.
