Weather: Temperatures soar across the world

Weather: Temperatures soar across the worldRegions across the world are experiencing extremely hot weather currently, including India.

Canada's western territories and the US Northwest region have experienced record temperatures with heatwaves.  These are regions that usually have milder weather.

Meanwhile, in Canada, the British Columbia province is experiencing its most severe heatwave on record. This week, a town named Lytton broke Canada's all-time hottest temperature record three times.

More than 200 people have died due to the heatwave since last week. The extremely hot weather is also making drought (water shortage) worse, leading to immense wildfires.

Experts say that this is due to a dome of high pressure over the region. It is also worse due to climate change and such incidences will become worse in the future.
Heatwave in India
The India Meteorological Department said that heatwave conditions would be felt in some areas over northwest India over the next 4-5 days. The monsoon is expected to be delayed by about a week over these areas.

On Thursday, Delhi experienced a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius. It was the highest temperature in July in Delhi in the last 90 years. However, slight rains over the weekend could bring some relief.
Record heat in Antarctica
The United Nations confirmed a new record high temperature for Antarctica. It is 18.3 degrees Celsius, recorded in February 2020. Such recordings are important for us to keep a check on Earth's climate. The Antarctic is among the fastest-warming regions of the planet.
