In the afternoon of the afternoon of the 16th, when a special warmth was given to the whole country, a mist rises in downtown Seoul. The reason for the heat wave is that Tibetan high pressure has helped boost North Korean high pressure, the weather agency said. [뉴스1]
The silent office was suddenly full of cell phone alarms. This is a security guide letter informing the alarm. The Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MEXT) issued a warning on the 11th at 4:00 pm from Seoul and Gangwon Province (4 areas including Hoengseong, Chuncheon) and parts of the city ( 19 areas including Seongnam and Gapyeong). More than half of the nation is reinforced by a warning of a storm warning, and an early heat wave covers the peninsula. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the daytime temperature in Seoul rose to 34 degrees Celsius, exceeding the highest temperature of the previous day (33.2 degrees Celsius). It is 5.8 degrees higher than normal (28.2 degrees). Daegu and Gyeongbuk Pohang also recorded the highest temperature this year at 37.2 degrees. The Korean Meteorological Administration believes that the inclement heat, with temperatures above 33 degrees Celsius, will last for at least ten days up to one month maximum.
This heat was not limited to the Korean Peninsula. The entire northern hemisphere has been trapped in the heat. Japan is experiencing a record heat wave following a record storm. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the temperature of Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture is 38.7 degrees, and that of Kyoto is 38.5 degrees.
Originally, hot Africa was warmer. The Sahara Desert has renewed its peak of temperature since the weather observation. According to the British Guardian, the Algerian region of Uggla recorded 51.3 degrees 5. Kuriyat of Oman also recorded the best tropical days of the day with 42.6 degrees at midnight. The highest temperature of the day was 49.8 degrees.

The first cause of such a heat wave, which warms the northern hemisphere, is the phenomenon of 'heat breeze'. The heat dome phenomenon is the name given because the warm air of the high pressure surrounds the ground as if it were trapped in a hemispherical roof. Usually, the high pressure developed in the upper atmosphere of the atmosphere stagnates, and hot air is trapped on the floor, which means that the heat gets worse.
The American meteorologist Nick Humphrey evaluated the "incredible heat phenomenon in the northern hemisphere".
In fact, it is badyzed that the same phenomenon occurs in the sky above the Korean peninsula. The high tide of the North Pacific, which has a dominant influence during the summer of the Korean Peninsula, is due to the strong Tibetan pressure that has increased in the west. The Tibetan plateau has an average altitude of 4500m, which is heated faster than normal, but this year it is hotter than usual.
A Glbady Meteorological Bureau official said: "The Tibetan high pressure and the high pressure of the North Pacific have encountered tremendous forces," he said, "the reason why the Tibetan Plateau is so hot could be affected by global warming. "
The United States was no exception. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), last month was the month of June, the third time in the US meteorological observation. In addition, the average temperature from January to June of this year is also the 14th highest ever recorded, resulting in tornadoes and property damage due to the deteriorating climate reaching $ 6 billion (about 6.77 billion won) .
NASA also said in January that "2017 is the second hottest year in history, based on the average temperature of the Earth's surface", which is the result of 40 years of global warming And greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause. "In the long run, the earth is getting hot," said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Space Institute.
One of the biggest crises caused by global warming is the decline in biodiversity. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said in March that up to 50% of biological extinctions could occur in areas of diverse flora and fauna, particularly in the Amazon and Madagascar, due to global warming. They also reported that 25% of the creatures in the region will disappear when the global average temperature increases by 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level. The researchers studied 80,000 species of flora and fauna in the south of the Himalayas and Borneo.
The WWF warned that "extinction does not simply mean the disappearance of creatures", and "tens of millions of people are causing serious changes in the ecosystem in which they live".
