In one day .. Japan records the highest temperatures since 1880

On Tuesday, Japan recorded two consecutive records, as the meteorological office announced 41.6 and 41.8 degrees Celsius, warning that heat may continue to rise.

Temperatures have increased around the world in recent years at a time when climate change causes unfamiliar weather patterns.

The heat in the city of Esisaki today, Tuesday, exceeded the record in the Hugo area last week, which amounted to 41.2 degrees Celsius.

Last summer was the most free in Japan since the data was recorded 126 years ago, similar to what was the case in 2023, after a fall season that was also the most free.

Last week, the heat in the tourist city of Kyoto reached 40 degrees Celsius, the first time the city’s weather control points are recorded at this rise, knowing that the oldest point opened in 1880 and the latest in 2002.

The absence of snow on Mount Fuji

Experts warn that the famous cherry trees in Japan are blooming prematurely as a result of high temperatures, but sometimes not completely blooming since the fall and winter seasons are not cold enough.

As for the snow on Fuji Mountain, it was absent for the longest registered period last year, and it did not appear before the beginning of November, compared to its usual appearance in the beginning of October.

July also recorded the highest free degree for this month since the data began to record in 1898, according to what the Meteorological Authority said Friday, with heat rising per month at a rate of 2.89 degrees Celsius from the rate of the period between 1991-2020.

Some Japan dams and rice fields suffer from water shortages, in light of a significant decline in rainfall rates in various regions of the country.

Free waves in the continent of Asia

Other parts of Asia have witnessed free waves this summer, from South Korea to Vietnam.

South Korea witnessed the second most free month, with a temperature rate of 27.1 degrees Celsius, according to the Meteorological Authority, which has gathered this type of data since 1973.

July was recorded the most free in South Korea in 1994, when the average temperature reached 27.7 ° C.

In northern Vietnam, record temperatures for August were recorded in 17 regions in 7 governorates, while the demand for electricity increased as a result of the use of air conditioners, according to the authorities on Tuesday.

The capital, Hanoi, witnessed the first day of August, in which heat exceeds 40 degrees Celsius.
