The historic heat wave in Canada caused more than 130 deaths, and the local temperature exceeded 49.5℃. What happened?

A historic heat wave hit western Canada, and the local situation is quite grim. The temperature is as high as 49.5℃, breaking the record of the highest temperature in Canada for three consecutive days. The highest record in Canada in previous years was 45℃.

Last summer, the temperature in British Columbia was relatively mild. Many residents do not have air conditioners installed in their homes, and even fans are not popular in the local area. Such high temperature forced many residents to go to large shopping malls to snap up air conditioners and fans, and refrigeration equipment such as air conditioners and fans in many places have been snapped up. In addition, many residents have to book air-conditioned rooms in hotels in order to escape the summer.

According to media reports, medical staff in British Columbia received 139 heatstroke calls on the 27th. Such a high temperature is really very difficult and fatal for the elderly. Not to mention the elderly, that is, young and strong people, are very uncomfortable in this high temperature, and the wind is hot.

Many elderly people have some potential health problems, and it is easy to have fatal risks in this high temperature. The local authorities also said: Pay more attention to neighbors, especially the family around you and the old people you know.

Reasons for extreme weather: Meteorologist Castren said that the heat wave weather was mainly due to the phenomenon of high pressure ridge in the sky, and the high temperature could not be discharged when it was pressed over the sky. Many provinces and regions are windless and exposed to the climate, and the places where high-pressure ridges pass will produce continuous high temperature.

When the temperature reaches above 46℃, people can't open their eyes because of the sunlight, and the air is full of burnt smell. People seem to be in a huge pressure cooker, sweating profusely. If the humidity in the air is high, this high temperature cannot be alleviated even if water is replenished. A meteorologist in Canada said: This persistent extreme heat wave phenomenon is mainly caused by human activities, and this extreme weather will become warmer in the future.

A meteorologist in Canada said that this persistent extreme heat wave phenomenon is mainly due to global warming caused by human activities, and this extreme weather will become more and more frequent in the future.

With the frequent occurrence of extreme weather around the world, many netizens began to ridicule that Canadians can't afford air conditioners, which means that they can't afford electricity even if they use air conditioners. Many people can only afford to buy electric fans, but they still hold the mentality of watching the excitement. This is reminiscent of a place that says we can't afford tea eggs and mustard tuber.

In Canada, 130 people have died of high temperature. According to such extreme weather, more serious problems may occur. In recent years, extreme temperatures have appeared repeatedly, and everyone lives on the same earth. In a developed country, so many people died suddenly because of high temperature, so it is even more unimaginable for other poor countries to encounter extreme high temperature weather.

As the earth's temperature rises and global warming continues, extreme weather may occur frequently. From these years, we can see that the overall climate situation has become more complicated and the extreme weather encountered by the earth has increased.

According to New Zealand, the local meteorological department has issued a series of warnings. A huge cold air from the Antarctic ice shelf hit parts of the South Island and is now invading the north. The whole of New Zealand seems to have opened the refrigerator door. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the temperature in the southern region may drop to -20℃ during this cold front.

The southern hemisphere is shivering with cold, and the northern hemisphere is hot. How to deal with this extreme weather?
