The Japan Meteorological Agency announced on the 1st that the average temperature in Japan in July was 2.16 degrees higher than normal, the highest since statistics began in 1898. The temperature was 1.91 degrees higher, beating last year’s record, which was the previous highest, and making it the hottest July for the second year in a row. Seven locations recorded maximum temperatures of over 40 degrees. The extreme heat is expected to continue into August, so it is important to take measures to prevent heatstroke, such as using air conditioners properly and drinking plenty of water. In July, the Pacific high pressure system strengthened around the Japanese archipelago, and the westerly winds meandered northward, making it easier for warm air to flow in from the south. Warm air was covered by high pressure and further heated by strong, sunny sunlight, resulting in a series of high temperatures in the first and last months of the month.

>>6 The highlight of last year was his incredible tenacity in the final stretch in September after a good run in July and August. This year he got off to a rocket start and took off in a big way, but now…
It seems like a big change when you write that the average temperature went from 20 degrees to 22 degrees, but it only went from 293K to 295K, so it’s only a small change. It may be because of the volcanic eruption, but isn’t it the same now that they’ve been burning the Amazon for about five years?
Modern people in developed countries consume energy at the same level as large dinosaurs, and there are billions of us in this population, so it’s only natural that this would have an impact on a global scale.
>>34 But wasn’t rice cultivation originally possible because of the cold climate? If global warming occurs, then water, the source of life, will disappear, and agriculture will come to an end.
This is a fitting end for the Japanese who have denied global warming and filled the world with gasoline-powered cars. They spat at the heavens, and the heavens punished them.
>>45 It was much hotter during the Heian period and when dinosaurs were around than it is now. It’s strange to say that it’s abnormal for human convenience.
