De 16 a 21 horas diarias de calor extremo, lo que viene si las emisiones siguen altas

A scientific study published in August warns that current high levels of polluting emissions could dramatically increase the duration of daily extreme heat. According to the research, intense heat days currently average 16.4 hours of extreme temperatures, but this could rise to 21 hours per day—nearly the entire day—if emissions continue at their present rate.

Simultaneously, various regions experienced acute weather events and seasonal climate conditions. France entered its fifth heatwave of the season, expecting a peak on Thursday and Friday amidst historic summer records that have left nearly 70 percent of the country facing water restrictions. Meanwhile, local forecasts for specific Latin American cities, including Asunción and Encarnación, highlighted ongoing weather fluctuations and temperature patterns influenced by broader climate change factors.
