Climatology

As they further state, it could threaten the lives of up to six billion people by the end of the century.
In the study "Climate State Report 2023: Entering Unexplored Territory", published in the journal Bioscience, specific climate events this year are pointed out.

With a heatwave in the southern hemisphere and record ocean temperatures, the ominous signs of climate change continue. This year, the Earth's surface registered the hottest temperature in history, exceeding centuries-old records in numerous regions.

In the face of the recently rising temperatures, encouraging local governments to paint buildings white as a defense against the scorching heat could be a remedy, an expert has put forth.

This is why UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that "climate change is out of control".
"If we persist in delaying the key measures that are needed, I think we are entering a catastrophic situation, as shown by the last two temperature records," Guterres said, referring to the world temperature records broken on Monday and Tuesday.

The average global temperature hit a new high on Monday, July 3, surpassing the planet-wide average of 17 degrees Celsius for the first time, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

US researchers said the new record is the highest since systematic records of daily temperatures have been kept since the late 19th century.

Europe's summer last year was the hottest on record and caused thousands of deaths, a joint report by World Meteorological Organization and European Union scientists confirmed, while warning that such events could become more routine.

The minimum temperatures today will be between 11 and 16 degrees Celsius, and the maximum will be within wide limits - from 16°C in northwestern Bulgaria to 26°C in the southeastern regions of the country, where it will be mostly sunny. A light north-westerly wind will blow.

Three alpine lakes and two coastal lagoons in Greece underwent coring in late May as scientists anticipate that they could offer valuable insights into the climate and environment of Southeastern Europe over the past 5,000 years.

Precipitation increased by 254 percent in April compared to 2022 and by 51 percent in the last 50 years, with most parts of the country experiencing humid weather rather than drought for the first time in a while, according to a report by the Turkish State Meteorological Service.

The world's oceans have suddenly spiked much hotter and well above record levels in the last few weeks, with scientists trying to figure out what it means and whether it forecasts a surge in atmospheric warming.
