The 73-degree high temperature in Kuwait scorched cars. Has the high temperature reached its peak?

The 73-degree high temperature in Kuwait scorched cars, and the high temperature has not yet reached its peak.

A few days ago, the highest temperature in the sun in Kuwait City once reached 73°C, once again breaking the global high temperature record. Even the car casings on the streets were baked, and the streets of the capital were deserted.

Because Kuwait is located in the northwest of the Persian Gulf, the area has a tropical desert climate, with only 108 mm of rainfall throughout the year. According to the forecast analysis of meteorological experts, the high temperature weather in Kuwait has not yet reached its peak, and is expected to reach a new high by the end of July.

High temperature weather continues in various places

At the end of June, a severe heat wave occurred in the United States and Canada in North America. It was called a rare high temperature "once in a thousand years". Locally in the United States, more than 50℃ Canada has set a new national high temperature record of 49.6 degrees, which is close to 50 degrees. Seattle, which has a temperate maritime climate and a mild climate all year round, hit 42 degrees to set a new historical record. ?

Such intense high temperatures are caused by a powerful high-pressure dam over North America. The high-pressure dam is formed by the superposition of misplaced subtropical high pressure and blocking high pressure generated by violent fluctuations in the westerly belt. After the violent fluctuations in the westerly belt affected North America, "high temperature waves" continued to pass through the westerly belt in the northern hemisphere. After that, high temperature heat waves also appeared in Europe and the Middle East.

This year’s instability and frequent violent meridional activities in the westerly belt are the result of the complex effects of a series of climate factors such as Arctic sea ice and La Niña. From a northern hemisphere perspective, it has indeed led to climate change. It’s a bit messy. It’s not hot where it should be hot, it’s not raining where it should be, and it’s extremely hot where it should be cool. As for when this pattern will end, there seems to be no sign yet.
