From Nigeria to Japan and from Pakistan to Spain, June recorded a record record in 12 countries and extremely high temperatures at 26 others, according to the French agency’s calculations based on data from the European Copernicus program.

A total of 790 million residents in 12 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa experienced unprecedented temperatures for June. For 26 other countries, this month was the second warmest to be recorded, such as in China, France, the United Kingdom, the Congo People’s Republic and Ethiopia.

Around the world, premature and extreme waves are recorded, the result of climate change that increases the intensity and frequency of the fuels.

THEI residents in southern and western Europe experienced an early wave of heat in late Junesomething that tested local populations that are not accustomed to such extreme high temperatures, such as in the Paris region in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Fifteen countries, including Switzerland, Italy or the whole of the Balkans, experienced temperatures by 3 ° C above the usual levels for the season. Spain, Bosnia and Montenegro have also met the warmest June they have ever recorded.

Prior to Europe, Japan experienced a wave of heat in mid -June and the warmest June since the relevant records began to be observed in 1898. The temperature in the coastal waters of the archipelago was increased by 1.20 ° C from normal levels for the season, equating the record of 2024.

These records are recorded while the country has already experienced its warmest summer in 2024-as in 2023-which gave the ‘baton’ to the hottest autumn ever recorded. The emblematic top of Mount Fuji was covered by snow in early November, a month later than usual.

In the Asia-Pacific areaSouth and North Korea have also experienced the warmest June since temperatures are available, almost 2 ° C higher than the usual levels for the season.

In China, 102 meteorological stations set a daily heat record in June, with some temperatures exceeding 40 ° C, according to state media.

Pakistan, with 250 million inhabitants, and Tajikistan, with a population of 10 million, also recorded record temperatures for June. These temperatures follow in the aftermath of an extremely hot spring for the whole of Central Asia, while in addition to these two countries, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, they also experienced the warmest spring (April-June) they have ever recorded.

Depending on the country, the thermometer climbed by 2 ° C to 4 ° C above the average spring for the years 1981-2010, with the temperature occasionally exceeding 50 ° C in certain anhydrous areas.

Nigeria, the sixth most crowded country in the world with 230 million inhabitants, equalized its record for June’s temperature, recorded in 2024.

In other countries in Sahel and equatorial Africa, such as the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Cameroon, the Congo People’s Republic and Ethiopia, this year June was the second warmest to be recorded on the basis of available data, just behind June 20.

South Sudan, where temperatures were 2.1 ° C above the common June levels, had already experienced a first wave of heat in March, which is usually the warmest month of the year. The heat had already forced the government to close schools, an unprecedented measure for this unstable and poor country.

“Extreme temperatures and the effects of rising temperatures affect all areas of African socio -economic development and exacerbate hunger, insecurity and population movements,” the World Meteorological Organization warned in May.
