Japan has recorded its hottest summer on record, with an average temperature 1.76°C higher than 1991-2020 averages and over 8,821 instances of extreme heat.
Meteorologists indicate that unseasonably high temperatures in Japan will likely extend into the autumn, a trend evidenced by thousands of recorded extreme heat incidents.
China has also experienced record-breaking heat, delaying the start of the school year in certain provinces due to unmanageable temperatures affecting schools and universities.
With China being the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the extreme weather events this summer in both Japan and China are reminders of accelerating climate change.
