Witnessing northwest The Mediterranean The intense heat wave that swept Europe recently.
Measurement of surface temperatures
Martinez explained that this heat wave is the most intense compared to any daily average we have previously recorded, referring to the area extending north of the Spanish Balearic Islands and west of Corsica and Sardinia.
He said that the measurement was based on surface temperatures only using satellite data.
He pointed out that recording the record in the northwestern Mediterranean came after the peak of the air heat wave moved towards eastern Europe.
The Nukta website report revealed that these clips are misleading, and that the distortion of traffic signals was not the result of high weather temperatures, but rather due to separate fires that occurred in two different locations.

Europe is the fastest warming continent
According to scientists, the oceans have absorbed about 90% of the excess heat resulting from human activity since the beginning of the industrial age, while Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world.
The rise in the temperature of the atmosphere also increases its ability to retain moisture, which leads to more severe storms and thus a higher risk of floods, which is one of the extreme weather phenomena exacerbated by climate change. The climate caused by human activities.
The rise in temperature in the Mediterranean contributed to fueling a violent storm that led to the worst floods that Spain has witnessed in decades in October 2024, with most of the deaths, which exceeded 230, recorded in the Valencia region in the east of the country.
