Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Climate change: Vietnam records highest-ever temperature of 44.1C
Thanh Hoa is situated about 150 kilometers south of Hanoi. Average high temperatures during May and August are between 31 and 33 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature could reach over 40 degrees. On May 7, a record temperature of 44.1 degrees was recorded in the region. People had to start and finish their jobs much earlier to avoid the heat. Similar levels of extremely high temperatures were also reported in the western part of Thailand and Myanmar. As Spain recorded 38.8C last month, the hottest temperature for the month, the world seems to be rapidly getting hotter. How hot will this summer be in the northern hemisphere? Will the global temperature go over 1.5C from the pre-industrial level even sooner than 2030?
Read the article and learn about the extremely hot temperatures already recorded this year.
