Global Heat Wave Affects 900 Million
In regions with an estimated total population of 900 million people, July 2026 was recorded as the hottest July on record, with temperature highs reaching new records in 33 countries, including Europe, Latin America, France, and Spain, according to data from the European Copernicus program. The rising temperatures led to widespread wildfires in the United States and Canada, where fires in Washington state destroyed over 700 buildings and forced thousands of residents to evacuate. Additionally, the fires in British Columbia spread rapidly, resulting in evacuation orders across multiple areas. In Spain and France, the fires continued to expand for several days as authorities worked to contain the blazes and prevent them from spreading to other regions.
