Global Record-Breaking Heat in June 2021
June 2021 broke records with global temperatures 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than pre-industrial times. This is a critical marker for staying below 1.5 degrees Celsius agreed upon in the Paris Agreement. The heat has led to sweltering temperatures, record-breaking hot months, and concerns for regions experiencing unseasonably high temperatures. The Red Cross recommends staying hydrated, taking cold showers, and staying indoors to beat the heat.
