Thousands of temperature records were broken in one day in Africa. This has never been seen in the world before. This is reported by The Watchers.
According to the publication, a wave of exceptionally hot weather resulted in multiple temperature records being set across Africa on March 11. Countries from Cameroon to Mauritius experienced unprecedented heat in March.
“Records were broken in almost every country from north to south and from west to east. Nothing like this has ever happened anywhere in the world in climate history,” said climatologist and weather historian Maximiliano Herrera.
According to him, this is the most unusual event in climate history. “What is happening today will be remembered for generations. Not a single event in world climate history even comes close to this,” the scientist said.

Thus, in Cameroon a staggering temperature of +45.5 °C was recorded – this is a new national record for the hottest day in March. The temperature in Ghana reached +43.8 °C, which also became a national record for March.
In Niger, monthly records were broken at almost all monitoring stations: temperatures rose to +45 °C.
Burkina Faso also recorded monthly highs across the country.
Mali recorded its hottest day on record, with temperatures in Bougouni reaching +44°C, while Comoros also recorded its hottest day on record with a temperature of +36.1°C.
Hundreds of records were also broken throughout South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, Herrera said.
Over time, Ukraine will turn out to be one of the countries where the climate will remain favorable for life. According to climatologist Vera Balabukh, despite the significant climate changes that are observed in our country, they are not as catastrophic as in polar and tropical latitudes.
“Therefore, a significant number of climate refugees, especially from Asia and Africa, will try to resettle with us, which could increase social and economic tension in society,” the specialist warned.
