A record-breaking heatwave is affecting the western US, with 75 million people under heat alerts. California is hit the hardest, with cities like Redding and Ukiah reaching temperatures over 48 degrees Celsius. This extreme heat is caused by a heat dome, a high-pressure system trapping warm air. The phenomenon is linked to the jet stream's behavior and is worsened by climate change. Studies show that rising global temperatures make heat domes more intense. Scientists say that without human-caused climate change, such severe heat events would be nearly impossible.

Mumbai, India, is experiencing severe flooding due to heavy rainfall, with over 300 mm received in six hours.

A severe heat wave is breaking records across the US, particularly impacting the West Coast and sweeping through the East. The National Weather Service reported that around 36 million people are under excessive heat warnings, with temperatures reaching unprecedented highs like 119°F in Redding, California. This "heat dome" is centered over California and is causing temperatures to soar up to 20 degrees above normal in affected areas. The heat wave is expected to persist through the week, exacerbating climate change impacts. Efforts to mitigate the heat's effects are underway as the nation grapples with these extreme conditions.

Mumbai Airport faced significant disruptions today due to heavy rain, with 50 flights diverted to other airports. The city received over 300 mm of rain in just six hours, causing widespread waterlogging and traffic chaos. Key roads and low-lying areas were inundated, crippling normal life in the city.

The rain overwhelmed storm drains, bringing the city to a standstill.

The European Union's climate agency, Copernicus Climate Change Service, has confirmed that June was the warmest month on record, marking the 12th consecutive month with global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average. This milestone follows a year of consecutive record-breaking temperatures, with scientists warning that the planet has surpassed the 1.5°C threshold. While the Paris Agreement aims to limit long-term warming to 1.5°C, the current trend raises concerns about the devastating impacts of climate change. The record-breaking heat has affected millions worldwide, with no signs of slowing down.
