South Korea has hottest day on record amid extreme weather globally

South Korea experienced its hottest day on record, with the city of Yangsan reaching 42.5°C (108.5°F), marking the fifth consecutive day exceeding 40°C. This extreme heatwave is part of a global pattern of climate-related disasters, including droughts, wildfires, floods, and storms. The Korea Meteorological Administration reported that the average number of heatwave days in South Korea has more than doubled in the past five years. Scientists attribute these trends to climate change driven by human activity, leading to more frequent and intense extreme weather events worldwide. Similar heatwaves are affecting Japan, Europe, North Africa, and the western United States, with authorities issuing warnings and taking emergency measures to address the growing risks.
