The excessive heat worldwide suggests the full year will also be a record-breaker, according to Copernicus, the E.U. agency that tracks global warming.

The summer of “brat,” the Paris Olympics and political conventions may be winding down, but the heat in 2024 is still going strong.

The southwestern United States’ sizzling triple-digit temperatures this week mark the tail end of the hottest summer on record, according to a new European climate report.

“We know that the warming of the planet leads to more intense and extreme climate events, and what we’ve seen this summer has been no exception,” said Julien Nicolas, a climatologist with the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the European Union agency that published the assessment on Wednesday.

Hot summer streets and the pavements are
burning, I sit around
Trying to smile, but the air is so heavy and dry

Strange voices are saying (What did they say?)
Things I can’t understand
It’s too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand

We’re having a fucking heatwave in Brazil. It’s winter. It hasn’t rained in over 130 days. The weather is “desertic” and there is this fog going on from all the fires.

Here in Argentina, there was a wave of dead fish because last month parana river freezed in certain parts. I row regularly since ~2005. It’s the first time that I hear of this.

In Ushuahia the sea also freezed one month ago or so (which is also new to me).

Now, im sweating like a pig. It feels like summer.
