White House Issues Warm Weather Warning for US
Heatwave Sweeps Across America: White House Issues Warning
The White House has issued a warning through its social media account about the ongoing heatwave that is affecting millions of Americans. The message highlighted the increasing intensity and frequency of the heatwave, attributing it to climate change. Citizens were urged to stay updated on the weather and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has reported that certain regions in the west and south of the country are experiencing temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius. This is said to be caused by a surge in sub-tropical high pressure, leading to an unprecedented heatwave in the area.
Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that, on average, 700 people in the US die each year due to extreme heat. The heatwave sweeping across the country has also contributed to global temperature records being broken. July 4th was recorded as the hottest day worldwide, with the global average temperature measuring 17.18 degrees Celsius.
Scientists have warned that the effects of climate change caused by human activities are intensifying, leading to an increase in temperatures. They predict that temperature records may continue to be broken in the next six weeks. The World Meteorological Organization has also stated that El Nino conditions have started, which could further accelerate temperature increases.
It is important for individuals to stay informed about the changing weather patterns and take necessary precautions to protect themselves during the heatwave. The global average temperature was measured at 16.9 degrees Celsius in August 2016, indicating a significant rise in just a few years. As temperatures continue to soar, it is crucial for societies to address the issue of climate change and take action to mitigate its impact.
