气候危机进行时：北半球多地遭遇极端高温天气

近日北半球多地极端高温天气频发。美国加州死亡谷气温达到了53.3摄氏度，逼近世界最高温纪录，欧洲多地气温突破40度。

今年入夏以来，北半球多地极端高温天气频发。美国加州死亡谷气温达到了53.3摄氏度，逼近世界最高温纪录，欧洲多地气温突破40度，希腊和西班牙山火肆虐，这一切都表明气候危机不断加剧。

Temperatures continued to reach extreme highs across many parts of the northern hemisphere on Monday, with the mercury in parts of Italy poised to hit 45C on Tuesday and wildfires raging in Greece and Spain signalling the latest fierce warning of the effects of the climate crisis.

本周一（7月17日）北半球许多地区延续极端高温天气，意大利部分地区周二或将达到45摄氏度的高温，与此同时，希腊和西班牙山火肆虐再次警告人们气候危机已经来临。

In Italy, where temperatures later in the week could push close to the European record of 48.8C, set in the Sicilian town of Floridia in August 2021, Italians were warned to brace themselves for “the most intense heatwave of the summer and also one of the most intense of all time”.

意大利本周接下来几天的气温可能会逼近2021年8月西西里岛弗洛里迪亚镇创下的欧洲最高温纪录48.8摄氏度，意大利警告民众做好准备应对“今夏最强热浪也是史上最强高温天气”。

As heatwaves engulfed the globe, temperatures in California’s Death Valley, often among the hottest places on Earth, approached a world record on Sunday after reaching 53.3C.

在热浪席卷全球的同时，上周日（7月16日）美国加州死亡谷的气温也达到了53.3摄氏度，逼近世界最高温纪录。死亡谷是地球上最热的地方之一。
