The shocking global map shows the scope of the global heat wave.
An animation called Earth shows how high the global temperature is. The animation was designed by computer programmer Cameron Beccario, an engineering manager in Tokyo, Japan, who updated the weather data obtained from the global forecasting system of the National Environmental Forecasting Center every three hours. What is the average temperature of the earth? ]
This system uses a supercomputer to build a weather model based on various measured data, such as temperature, soil moisture, wind, ocean current and precipitation. It has been reported before that,
This week, the charming earth is shining with orange and red shadows, and a city outside Tokyo, Japan is facing a high temperature of 106 degrees Fahrenheit (4 1. 1 Celsius). According to * * *, since May, at least 86 people have died of heatstroke in Japan, and 23,000 people have been hospitalized in the past week alone, including

Earlier this month, the Algerian city of Ujah Guerra probably hit the highest temperature in African history: 124.3 degrees Fahrenheit (5 1.3 degrees Celsius). In June this year, Oman experienced the hottest night on record and the highest low temperature on earth on record: 108.7 degrees Fahrenheit (42.6 degrees Celsius). According to the Post,
Extreme weather, such as the current global heat wave, according to previous field scientific reports, due to human-induced climate change, strong hurricanes and long-term droughts are now more likely to occur. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), after comparing the current temperature with the historical records of seven weather stations in Europe, it is found that human-induced climate change has more than doubled the possibility of heat waves throughout Europe.
