At about summer香蕉视频直播檚 halfway point, the and weather extremes are both unprecedented and unsurprising, hellish yet boring in some ways, scientists say.

Killer heat. Deadly floods. Smoke from wildfires that chokes.

And there香蕉视频直播檚 no relief in sight.

Expect a hotter than normal August and September, American and European forecast centers predict.

香蕉视频直播淲e are seeing unprecedented changes all over the world,香蕉视频直播� said NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt. 香蕉视频直播淭he heat waves that we香蕉视频直播檙e seeing in the U.S. and in Europe, in China are demolishing records left, right and center. This is not a surprise.香蕉视频直播�

Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto said examining what香蕉视频直播檚 causing heat waves is 香蕉视频直播渂oring香蕉视频直播� in a way since it keeps happening. Yet she added that it matters 香蕉视频直播渂ecause it shows again just how much climate change plays a role in what we are currently experiencing.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭his story, these impacts, are going to continue,香蕉视频直播� Schmidt said. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e going to be seeing this pretty much this year and into next year香蕉视频直播� with a natural El Nino warming of the Pacific adding to the overwhelming influence of largely from the burning of coal, oil and gas.

Here香蕉视频直播檚 a rundown of the summer of Earth香蕉视频直播檚 discontent.

RECORD-SHATTERING HEAT

Globally, June this year was 香蕉视频直播� and scientists say July has been so hot that even before the month was over they could say it was the . But it香蕉视频直播檚 individual places where people live that the heat has stuck around and killed.

Phoenix, where the last day of June and each day of July (43 degrees Celsius), set records for the and longest stretch when the temperatures didn香蕉视频直播檛 go below 90 degrees (32 degrees Celsius) at night.

El Paso, Texas, had 44 days of 100 degree (37 degree) heat. Schools closed in Nuevo Leon state in northern Mexico a month earlier than usual as temperatures reached 113 degrees (45 Celsius).

Farther east, Miami added for 46 straight days of feels-like temperatures of 100 or more.

with at least 27 days of 95 degrees (35 Celsius) in July, after a three-day streak of at least 104 (40 Celsius) in June. And the country set it香蕉视频直播檚 all-time highest temperature on July 16 in remote Sanbao township with 126 degrees (52.2 Celsius).

Heat records fell . Sardinia, Italy, hit 117 (47 Celsius). Palermo in Sicily broke a record that goes back to 1791 by a whopping 3.6 degrees (2 degrees Celsius). Temperatures hit 115 (46 Celsius) in Gytheio, Greece.

Spain reported nearly 1,000 excess deaths from the heat, mostly among the elderly, by mid July.

In Argentina, where it香蕉视频直播檚 mid-winter, temperatures were above 89.6 (32 Celsius) four straight days in June in the northern part of the county. One July night in Buenos Aires didn香蕉视频直播檛 get below the 70s (low 20s Celsius).

TOO MUCH RAIN

More than 10,000 people had to be evacuated caused at least 70 houses to collapse. In Yichang, that buried a construction site and killed at least one person.

Australia香蕉视频直播檚 Queensland outback got 13 times its normal monthly July rain in just one day.

Thousands of people were evacuated from Delhi in India as . Elsewhere in the country at least 100 people were killed by the downpours.

In the United States, sudden heavy rain killed people in , Connecticut and with tragic stories of .

WILDFIRES AND SMOKE

Too little rain in Greece and Spain . In the Canary Islands, , others to wear face masks and had 400 firefighters battling it.

Hot and dry conditions caused about 160 wildfires to break out in Israel in early June.

But what really brought fires home where few people live. Rare far northern Quebec wildfires triggered nasty smoke that , then switched to .

As of late July more than 600 wildfires were out of control in Canada. A record 47,490 square miles (123,000 square kilometers) burned, and fire season isn香蕉视频直播檛 near done. That香蕉视频直播檚 an area larger than the state of Pennsylvania or North Korea.

WATER TEMPERATURES

Water temperatures in the Florida Keys and off the Everglades hit the high 90s (high 30s Celsius) with in what could be an unofficial world record for surface water temperature, although that香蕉视频直播檚 in dispute.

The North Atlantic . The world香蕉视频直播檚 oceans as a whole were their hottest ever in June and got even hotter in July. In Antarctica, sea ice smashed record-low levels.

Ocean temperatures take a long time to warm up and cool down, said University of Northern Illinois meteorology professor Victor Gensini. So it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 look good for the rest of the summer, he said.

A HOT FORECAST

香蕉视频直播淲e are favoring above normal temperatures for the next three months,香蕉视频直播� said NOAA Climate Prediction Center meteorologist Matt Rosencrans.

The only potential relief he sees, especially in the hot Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, is if a hurricane or tropical storm moves through.

The peak of hurricane season in September hasn香蕉视频直播檛 even started.

When going through the litany of this summer香蕉视频直播檚 weather extremes so far, University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann had one question: 香蕉视频直播淗ow on God香蕉视频直播檚 Earth are we still burning fossil fuels after witnessing all this?香蕉视频直播�
