酷暑难耐,北美在经历史上最热6月
根据欧洲的地球观测机构Copernicus的数据,破纪录的热浪使得上个月成为北美有史以来最热的6月。
该机构在7月7日发布月度报告称,欧洲北部和东部地区同样经历了极端高温的洗礼,上个月由此成为这些地区有记录以来第二热的6月。事实上,2021年6月是全球有记录以来第四热的6月,与2018年6月持平,比1991年至2020年的平均气温高0.21摄氏度。
Copernicus指出,今年6月,滚滚热浪从欧洲的东北部向西南部延伸,袭击北非,并向东南部延伸至伊朗和巴基斯坦等国。该地区6月的气温比1991年至2020年同月份的平均气温高1.5摄氏度。
随着夏季的到来,北半球开始经历极端高温。这充分表明,气候变化正在加剧世界各地的异常天气模式。去年的全球平均气温比20世纪高0.78摄氏度,与2016年并列成为有记录以来最热的年份。到本世纪末,与前工业时代相比,全球气温将上升3摄氏度,尽管全球领导人承诺要减少导致地球变暖的温室气体排放。
就连位于北极的西伯利亚也经历了高温。上个月是该地区有记录以来第四热的6月。海冰范围低于平均水平,但高于过去五个6月的水平。位于西伯利亚东北海岸的拉普捷夫海(Laptev Sea)录得有史以来最低的平均海冰覆盖率,这主要是由于海冰群中有大片的开放水域。西边的喀拉海(Kara Sea)的海冰覆盖率高于平均水平。(财富中文网)

The heatwave that broke temperature records in North America made last month the hottest June ever for the region, according to Europe’s Earth observation agency Copernicus.
Europe also experienced extreme heat in northern and eastern areas, posting its second-warmest June on record, the agency said in its monthly report on Wednesday. June 2021 was the fourth-warmest on record globally, tied with June 2018, with temperatures 0.21 degrees Celsius warmer than the average from 1991 to 2020.
High June temperatures extended from Europe’s north-east toward the south-west to hit North Africa, and toward the south-east as far as Iran and Pakistan, Copernicus said. The region was 1.5°C warmer than the average between 1991 and 2020 for June.
Climate change is exacerbating unusual weather patterns all over the world, with the Northern Hemisphere experiencing extreme heat as summer kicks off. Last year tied with 2016 as the hottest on record, with global average temperatures 0.78°C higher than the average for the 20th century. Temperatures are set to increase 3°C by the end of the century, compared with pre-industrial times, even as global leaders pledge to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.
Arctic Siberia also experienced high temperatures and its fourth-warmest June on record. Sea ice extent in the region was below average, but higher than levels recorded over the previous five Junes. The Laptev Sea, on the northeastern coast of Siberia, registered the lowest ice coverage on average mainly due to large areas of open water within the sea ice pack. Sea ice cover in the Kara Sea, to the west, was above average.
