Record. Cea mai caldă vară pentru 1,3 miliarde de persoane de pe glob - analiză AFP pe baza datelor Copernicus - Economica.net
Between June and August, 1.3 billion people experienced the hottest boreal summer on record, with 52 countries reporting unprecedented temperatures. The Copernicus program's analysis revealed extreme heat in Europe, droughts in Sudan, and toxic smoke in Indonesia. El Niño's intensity has contributed to severe weather patterns, including record heat in Central America and South America. In Europe, countries like Spain and Italy surpassed summer temperature records, leading to at least 35,000 heat-related deaths. The situation is dire in regions like Sudan, facing food crises and low river levels due to delayed rains. August 2026 was the hottest month ever recorded globally, with ocean temperatures also reaching unprecedented highs.
