The effect of global warming is being seen all over the world. In India, we are experiencing scorching heat, but now the temperature is rising in other countries of the world. Europe, which is usually cold, is currently experiencing extreme heat. Two weeks ago, scientists revealed that Earth is recording the hottest days in the history of the modern world. A heatwave is being observed in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth. Record-breaking heat is being recorded due to the use of emitting gas, fossil fuel consumption and the effect of El Niño.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned
Heatwave effects were reported in most parts of Europe on Tuesday. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that the death toll may increase due to extreme heat in continents like Asia and America. Currently summer season is going on in Europe and during this time tourists from all over the world come here. In such a situation, the WMO says that the heatwave conditions in the Northern Hemisphere may still worsen. Last year, heatwaves killed 61,000 people in Europe alone.

WMO said, “As the impact of the heatwave increases, temperatures will remain above 40 degrees Celsius for most days this week in North America, Asia as well as North Africa and the Mediterranean countries. Not only this, there will also be a sharp rise in minimum temperatures, leading to an increase in heart attacks and deaths.
In Italy and Spain, people are suffering because of the heat. Here three regions have been put on red alert. While the temperature across the continent has crossed 48.8 degrees, the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily are still experiencing low temperatures.
