SOARING TEMPERATURE

In recent years, the world has witnessed an alarming rise in temperatures, with heatwaves becoming more frequent, intense, and widespread.

The summer of 2025 has further reinforced this trend, as regions across Asia, Europe, and North America report record-breaking temperatures. From bustling metropolises to rural farmlands, no place seems immune to the heat.

These soaring temperatures are not just uncomfortable-they are deadly, and they are reshaping ecosystems, economies, and lives.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the first five months of 2025 have been among the hottest ever recorded. Countries like India, and parts of the Middle East have experienced temperatures exceeding 50°C, while southern Europe and parts of the United States have been scorched with prolonged heatwaves. The average global temperature in May 2025 was 1.45°C above pre-industrial levels, nearing the critical 1.5°C threshold set under the Paris Climate Agreement.

Even colder regions are not spared. Canada's Northwest Territories recorded highs of 34°C, a temperature more typical of subtropical zones. Greenland's ice sheets are melting at an accelerated pace, and the Arctic Circle, once an icy haven, is warming nearly four times faster than the global average.
