South Korea has recorded its hottest day since weather records began more than 100 years ago, highlighting the growing impact of extreme weather linked to climate change.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the southeastern city of Yangsan reached 42.5°C (108.5°F) on Sunday afternoon, marking the fifth consecutive day temperatures there exceeded 40°C.
Heatwave warnings remain in effect across much of the country, with more than 20 regions placed under emergency heat alerts. The KMA said the number of annual heatwave days has more than doubled over the past five years compared to the 1970s.
Climate experts say human-driven climate change is increasing the frequency, duration, and intensity of heatwaves and other extreme weather events worldwide.
The severe heat in South Korea is part of a broader pattern of extreme weather affecting several regions. Japan has issued heatstroke alerts across many prefectures, while wildfires continue to spread through parts of Greece, Spain, and France due to scorching temperatures and strong winds.
In North Africa, major wildfires are burning across Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, forcing emergency responses and threatening communities. Meanwhile, the western United States is also experiencing dangerous heat, with forecasters warning of possible record-breaking temperatures and an increased risk of wildfires.
