The average surface temperature of the sea also reached the third largest value. The area of Arctic sea ice reached the second smallest value in July & nbsp; over 47 years of satellite observations. 62 ~~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~In Europe, Sweden and Finland were especially affected, where the temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius for an unusually long period.

Forest Fires ~ 60 > abnormal heat contributes to the emergence of destructive forest fires, which lead to victims and worsening air quality. Firefighters in Cyprus, in Greece and Turkey are fighting daily with fire, which forces people to leave at home, takes away lives and envelops the sky with thick smoke. ~ 60 > 60 > in Canada hundreds of forest fires led to smoke and air pollution in several provinces.
