The summer of 2021 has been one of the hottest on record.
With temperatures reaching an average of 30 degrees Celsius, this year’s summer is set to be one of the hottest on record. The record-breaking heatwave has affected much of Europe and North America, with weather experts predicting that this will be the worst summer in 20 years. This year’s hot weather has been blamed on a number of factors, including climate change and El Niño.
Why is it so hot?
There are a number of factors that can contribute to a heatwave. The first is climate change, which is responsible for rising global temperatures. While it may not be directly responsible for this year’s heatwave, climate change does increase the likelihood that heatwaves will occur more frequently in certain areas.
How long will it last?
Unfortunately, it looks like this summer’s heatwave won’t be ending anytime soon. While some countries have had brief respite from the scorching temperatures, others have seen temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius.
