Since June this year, heat waves have invaded multiple countries in the northern hemisphere. The United Kingdom, France, and South Korea issued high -temperature warnings, and Japan and the United States have recorded high temperatures in many places. Experts attribute the high temperature "burning" model of the northern hemisphere this summer to climate change and remind the public to strengthen self -protection.

High temperature is rare

The British Meteorological Administration issued the first abnormal high -temperature red warning in history on the 15th. The British Health and Safety Administration also released the first 4 -level warning since the issuance of the 2004 England High -temperature Health Warning- "National Emergency Status". The British Meteorological Administration predicts that the abnormal high temperature at the beginning of the week will affect most of England, including London, and the maximum temperature may reach 40 degrees Celsius, which is as high as 80%of Britain's highest temperature record. The highest temperature in the United Kingdom has 38.7 degrees Celsius, which was measured at the University of Cambridge on July 25, 2019.

A spokesman for the World Meteorological Organization, Nalis, said in Geneva on the 12th that Western Europe is forming a new heat wave, and it is expected that this round of heat waves will be exacerbated and spread. In the next few weeks, high temperatures may spread to other parts of Europe.

The French Meteorological Department stated that France has ushered in high temperature weather for up to 10 days on the 12th. The French Meteorological Administration announced that seven provinces are in a high -temperature orange warning state, and dozens of provinces are in a yellow warning state.

The heat waves from North Africa have invaded the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe from the 8th, causing the island to continue to have high temperatures for the past few days. In addition, the rare droughts and rain since this year, the mountains and forests of Portugal are frequent. With the help of the European Union, the two governments have mobilized their strength to deal with the heat. The other many countries in Europe also rang the heat wave alarm.

The Ministry of Administration of South Korea issued a high -temperature orange warning on the 2nd, covering most parts of the country. The warning time was 18 days earlier than last year. In South Korea, when more than 40%of the nation's region is at least 3 consecutive weather temperatures of more than 33 degrees Celsius, high -temperature orange warning will start.

Affected by high air pressure, the temperature has risen sharply since late June, and Tokyo has continued to high temperature for many days. Of the 914 observation points across the country, 338 observation points observed the highest temperature in the history of observation in June.

In mid -June this year, the southwestern United States encountered heat waves, and high temperatures broke the record in many places. The National Meteorological Administration of Meteorological Administration reported that on June 11, the highest temperature in the city of Arizona's capital of Phoenix reached 46 degrees Celsius, the highest record since 1918.

how so

Researchers at the British Meteorological Administration pointed out that climate change has triggered unprecedented extreme weather events worldwide. Corina Le Cry, a professor of climate change at Dongying Geely University in the United Kingdom, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency on the 16th that climate change has led to an increase in extreme high temperature in the world, and the speed of climate change is faster than the adaptive action of human society.

The World Meteorological Organization believes that due to climate change, it is expected that extreme high temperatures will appear more frequently and stronger in the future. The spokesman of the organization, Nalis, previously said that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, global warming will be greater, and what he currently experiences is only a "future sign of the future."

The previous evaluation report released by the Intergovernmental Climate Change of the United Nations (IPCC) pointed out that global warming in the past 50 years has occurred at unprecedented speeds in the past 2000, and the unstable climate system has intensified.

How to protect

The Hungarian National Public Health Center reminds the public that protection needs to be strengthened at high temperatures, such as drinking plenty of water, etc.; Pay attention to sunscreen between 11:00 and 15:00, and protect the skin with appropriate clothing and sunscreen Stay in the car under the scorching sun.

British Meteorological Administration CEO Penny Endesby said that Britain's extreme high -temperature warning was "absolutely unprecedented" and urged the public to take it seriously. The British Meteorological Administration warned that high temperature weather may cause water discontinuation and interruption of water and telecommunications services in some areas. People need to adjust their daily life and work methods to reduce outdoor activities.

In order to cope with high temperature weather, the Ministry of Administration and Security of South Korea has requested relevant departments and governments to take measures to help and health guarantee for outdoor staff and elderly people and other groups.

The Japanese government calls on the public to take measures to prevent disease -related diseases. At the same time, pay attention to avoid heat stroke, and use air conditioners appropriately.
