In the summer of 2023, the northern hemisphere experienced the hottest temperatures in 2,000 years, exacerbated by global warming and the El Niño weather pattern. This extreme heat led to severe wildfires in the Mediterranean, infrastructure damage in Texas, and overloaded power lines in China. Scientific analysis revealed that summer land temperatures were 2.07 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels. The heat had significant health impacts, contributing to about 1% of global deaths annually from 1990 to 2019, with Asian and European regions being the most affected. Understanding and preparing for El Niño events are crucial for mitigating future climate-related challenges.
