From Phoenix, Ariz., to China to Spain, heat records are being set all over the world
Temperature records have been shattering left and right as searing, unrelenting heat has enveloped numerous spots around the planet—from Phoenix, Ariz., to Sanbao, China—during this summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Extreme heat kills people. In the U.S., it claims more lives than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods—combined. It is particularly dangerous for young children, the elderly, those with health conditions such as asthma and heart disease, those who work outside and the unhoused.Local-Level Records Under the influence of a tenacious heat dome, Phoenix has blown past a record for the longest stretch of days with high temperatures at or above 110 degrees Fahrenheit .
Miami, Fla., has seen a heat index above 100 degrees F for 45 days as of July 25, according to local meteorologist Brian McNoldy. This is by far the most days in a row to reach that level. The city also saw a record 13 consecutive days with a heat index of 106 degrees F or higher and a record two days in a row where the heat index topped 110 degrees F.
Palermo, the capital of the Italian region of Sicily, hit an all-time record high of 116.6 degrees F on July 24, breaking its previous record by more than 3.6 degrees F . Temperature data there extend back to 1791.
