Summer has hit Europe like never before, as countries like the UK have exceeded 40 degrees, a climate they have never experienced before.

However, this is not the only continent to be hit by the latest heatwave, as parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East have also been affected. Therefore, NASA publishes maps of the countries with the highest temperatures.

Due to the extreme heat episodes that crossed several regions of the world, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reports the hottest latitudes, globally.

The map shows the temperature the air reached in these countries on July 13; population of Portugal, Spain and parts of France These are the most affected, as the same high temperatures ignite a series of fires that generate climates of up to 45 degrees.

To make this measurement possible, NASA was forced to use Goddard Earth Observation System (GEOS)which is based on mathematical models to understand the physical processes through which our atmosphere passes.

According to Steven Pawson, a principal fellow at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, this temperature rise is a consequence of human activitieswhich produces more and more greenhouse gas emissions, causing climate extremes that affect living conditions, not only for humans, but also for the living species, such as animals and plants, that are all around us.

On July 13, 2022, Earth’s satellite captured temperatures rising above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) due to an extreme and record-breaking heatwave across much of Europe, Africa, and Asia: https://t.co/tD6DmpXMyz pic.twitter.com/cb3P1F699Y

What is the country with the highest temperature?

A NASA map places Portugal and Spain at the top of the list, which are the two areas most affected by the bushfires, causing the loss of thousands of hectares in each.

In Italy, a severe heat wave has caused loss of most of the Marmolada Glacierthe highest mountain in the Dolomites, one of the most important natural areas in the Alps.

These losses resulted in avalanches, ice and rock, which caused the deaths of 11 people who entered the tourist area.

As for England (reported by the European Meteorological Office) temperatures are expected to continue to rise, setting new records for temperature extremes.

In Tunisia, Africa, temperatures hit 48 degrees, surpassing the highest recorded 40 years ago. This climate also affects the economic and productive life of the region, preventing a good cereal harvest, one of the most profitable businesses.

In the case of Iran, in June the weather is up to 52 degrees. While China reached more than 40 degrees.

“Such extreme heat has a direct impact on human health, as well as other consequences, including the fires that are happening now in Europe and Africa, and which have proliferated in recent years in North America.”Pawson is done.
