Extreme Weather in Northern Hemisphere Causes Deaths, Wildfires

Extreme temperatures are sweeping across the Northern Hemisphere, with the United States, Europe, and Asia experiencing deadly heatwaves and wildfires, the Associated Press reported yesterday.

The U.S. South is bracing for another heat wave, and the National Weather Service expects some areas to set new daily records, the source mentioned.

In Saudi Arabia, at least 14 Eid al-Adha pilgrims died of heatstroke as temperatures reached 116°F (47°C). Cyprus has also seen record highs, leading to heat-related deaths and wildfires.

Experts recommend staying hydrated, wearing loose clothing, and seeking air-conditioned spaces to survive the searing conditions. This intensifying climate crisis underscores the urgent need for global action to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events.
