Health authorities have sounded alarms from North America to Europe and Asia, urging people to stay hydrated and shelter from the burning sun
-
ROME/MADRID: Global temperatures were soaring to historic highs on Monday, triggering health warnings and fanning wildfires in the latest stark reminder of the effects of global warming. From North America to Europe and Asia, people gulped water and sought shelter from the sweltering heat, as temperatures crept towards record highs.
China reported a new high for mid-July in the northwest of the country, where temperature reached 52.2°C in the Xinjiang region's village of Sanbao, breaking the previous high of 50.6°C set six years ago.
In nearby Turpan city, where ground surface temperatures sizzled at 80°C in some parts, authorities have told workers and students to stay home and ordered special vehicles to spray water on major thoroughfares, the meteorological body said.
