In practice, the high temperatures were accompanied by extreme dryness with a relative humidity of 10% to 25% in the mountains and inland.

The dryness has also reached the vicinity of the coast and this is an unusual condition for summer that is characterized by hot and humid weather in this area and especially during periods of heat waves, so particularly steamy weather prevails.

As you may recall, last Monday the UN climate report was published warning of global warming and claiming that it is the cause of the extreme weather we are witnessing today.

The report, the most comprehensive ever carried out on global warming and global warming, suggested that the earth is likely to warm up by about a decade and a half earlier than expected.

A warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius is considered a point where climate change will become increasingly dangerous.

Although the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 obliged the countries of the world to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, they have already risen by 1.2 degrees.

The report warns about how close the world is to reaching this point of no return and how dangerous the consequences are for humanity.
