Weather in Bulgaria: Moderate Winds and Subzero Temperatures Expected on February 19
On February 19, temperatures across Bulgaria will range from minus 8°C to 3°C
June 2024 has marked the warmest month on record, according to data released by the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Office. This latest finding underscores a troubling trend, as it marks the 12th consecutive month where temperatures have exceeded historical averages. Experts warn that if current patterns persist, 2024 could surpass last year as the hottest year ever recorded.
The rising temperatures are attributed to a combination of factors, including human activity and the recurring El Niño phenomenon. These influences have contributed to a steady increase in global average temperatures, pushing them significantly above pre-industrial levels. Over the past year alone, temperatures have averaged 1.65 degrees Celsius higher than the norm.
The findings highlight a growing concern among climate scientists and policymakers about achieving the targets set out in the Paris Agreement. The agreement aims to limit the global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts focused on capping it at 1.5°C. However, with each passing month of record-breaking warmth, these goals appear increasingly challenging to attain.
The implications of prolonged temperature increases extend beyond immediate environmental impacts to encompass broader societal and economic consequences. As global temperatures continue to rise, the urgency for coordinated international action to mitigate climate change becomes ever more apparent.
