The summer season is officially underway, and with it comes the promise of warm weather, long days, and plenty of opportunities to explore. However, this year, record-breaking temperatures are sweeping across the Northern Hemisphere.
Whether you're visiting cities in North America affected by wildfires and heatwaves, living in Asia where some cities in China are reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius, or enjoying the Mediterranean beauty of countries like Italy, Spain, or Greece amidst scorching temperatures, it's crucial to stay informed and take necessary precautions to beat the heat. Climate change continues to make extreme heat events more common, so it's essential to prioritize your health.
