According to the US Climate Prediction Center (CPC), the entire US is expected to have a hotter-than-average summer. In the 20 hottest summers in U.S. history, 15 have occurred since 2000, more than half of which were after 2010.
Climate Central analyzed data from 242 US cities, discovering that 97% had warmed up to an average of 1.44 degrees Celsius since 1970. The number of summer days exceeding the average temperature of 1991-2020 also increased rapidly.
In Spain, a "monsoon" heat wave, described as the " earliest heat on record," is making the whole country struggle to cope.

Singapore, where the average humidity is up to 82%, is facing a "double-tolerance" complex: hot and moist air makes it impossible for the body to sweat effectively, increasing the risk of heatstroke, especially for the elderly and outdoor workers.
The Vietnam National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that on June 1, severe heat will occur widely in the Northern Delta, the mountainous areas west of Thanh Hoa - Nghe An and Hoa Binh; some places will have particularly severe heat.
