世界的に激烈に暑いらしい

　夏になってまだ数週間なんだけどねえ…という書き出しから、英国では平均温度の歴史的記録をブレイクしたってわけじゃない、スマッシュしたんだそれはという表現へ。

BBC Heatwaves: Why this summer has been so hot 9 Jul 2023 By Justin Rowlatt

「It is hot. Very hot. And we are only a few weeks into summer.」

「In the UK, the June heat didn't just break all-time records, it smashed them. It was 0.9C hotter than the previous record, set back in 1940. That is a huge margin.」

「And the heat has not eased. The three hottest days ever recorded were in the past week, according to the EU climate and weather service, Copernicus.

The average world temperature hit 16.89C on Monday 3 July and topped 17C for the first time on 4 July, with an average global temperature of 17.04C.

Provisional figures suggest that was exceeded on 5 July when temperatures reached 17.05C.」

　とまあ、まあ日を追って熱くなる勢い。これどうなるだろう。このままだと教室で座っているだけで熱射病になりそうだけど。
