July is Set to Break Heat Records as Hottest Month on Record

Greece and the southern United States are preparing for their highest heatwaves as temperatures are predicted to exceed 40 degrees Celsius. This summer has seen intense heat affecting tens of millions of people in the northern hemisphere, with July on track to become the hottest month ever recorded.

The Al-Ojairi Scientific Center in Kuwait announced that starting from July 29, the country will enter a new phase of summer linked with the start of the Mirzam season. “The Mirzam season is characterized by high temperatures, as the heat reaches its most intense period and humidity rises in coastal areas in preparation for a gradual decrease in temperatures, marking the end of summer,” the center said.

With temperature records being broken, experts have highlighted the role of climate change resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. They say that global warming is playing a key role in destructive weather.
