In Phoenix, a high of 108 degrees Fahrenheit now somehow counts as a respite. On Monday, America’s hottest major city ended its ominous streak of 31 straight days in which temperatures crested past 110. The toll of this heat—a monthly average of 102.7 degrees in July—has been brutal. One woman was admitted to a hospital’s burn unit after she fell on the pavement outside her home, and towering saguaros have dropped arms and collapsed. Over the past month, hospitals filling
Hot weather is likely to make a comeback as the UK will witness a scorching heatwave with an 85F blast for almost six days, as per the weather maps. WXcharts shows that the temperature levels in the country will touch around 30C after days of thunderstorms and strong winds.
Weather maps indicate that the southern part of the nation will witness the maximum temperature levels with parts of the Midlands and South West reaching the highest levels.
The shift in
Most humans felt the scorching touch of climate change in July.
July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded, and climate change made the elevated temperatures across 51 percent of Earth’s land surface at least five times more likely, according to a study released August 2 by Climate Central.
Researchers had already spotlighted the fingerprint of climate change on recent heat waves in China, North America and Europe (SN: 7/19/23; SN: 7/25/23). But the new report shows

July 2023 has broken multiple temperature records and is expected to be the hottest month ever recorded, according to the UN’s World Meteorological Organisation and EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service.
The first weeks of July were the warmest three-week period on record and it is “virtually certain” the month will be the hottest July ever recorded and the hottest month ever recorded “by a significant margin”, the organisations said in a joint statement on Thursday (27 July).

Wildfires raged in Canada and in 10 countries around the Mediterranean. Heat waves blanketed much of North America, Europe, and Asia. Each day from July 3 to July 6 set records for Earth’s hottest day ever. Now, the World Meteorological Organization and Copernicus, a European Union climate observation agency, have announced that July is “extremely likely” to be the hottest month
Britain’s record-breaking summer last year which saw the country endure its hottest day in history was ‘a sign of things to come’ for the UK’s climate, scientists have warned.
Scientists say the extreme heat is an example of what we can expect to see in future unless greenhouse gas emissions are brought under control.
The hot, dry summer of 2022 led to Britain enduring 104F (40C) temperatures for the first time ever, with a high of 104.5°F (40.3°C) in Coningsby,
A two-week-long heat wave in the Pacific Northwest in 2021 helped make that summer a record breaker for the region (SN: 7/7/21). Now, tree ring data from the area’s forests reveal that the summer of 2021 was also the region’s hottest of the last millennium.
The average temperature for that year’s summer not only shattered the previous record, set in 2015, by 0.4 degrees Celsius. It was also unprecedented since the year 950, researchers reported February 17 in
When it comes to style, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a fashionable passerby.
As fashion editors, we’re moved by all of the above, and then some. We’re exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we attend VIP events; we’re tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop — a lot.

Wildfires broke out across the UK today as families fled for their lives as their homes which they tried to save with buckets of water were engulfed amid blazes across the country in record 40.3C heat.
Firefighters have described blazes tearing through homes and buildings in London as ‘absolute hell’ – with residents evacuated after homes were destroyed, two people taken to hospital for smoke inhalation, and 1,600 calls for assistance.
Elsewhere in the country hundreds of fire crews are
