Arab Weather - The city of Saint Petersburg, the capital of northern Russia, recorded on Wednesday, April 10, the warmest day in 134 years, as the temperature reached more than 21.4 degrees Celsius , making it the warmest during this month since 1890.

Mikhail Liu, chief specialist at the Phobos Meteorological Center, told the Russian "Interfax" news agency that the temperature record in the city had been broken, as the temperature directly increased by 4.8 degrees from the previous record that had existed since 1890.

In this unusual climate, St. Petersburg witnessed an increase in the use of public facilities such as parks and open spaces, as residents took advantage of the warm weather to enjoy outdoor activities. Authorities have warned of the dangers of fires as a result of drought and high heat, calling on residents to take the necessary precautions and be cautious.

March 2024 was recorded as the hottest month ever

The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service announced Tuesday that March saw a rise in temperatures, making it the hottest on record and the 10th straight month of historic heat; As experts have confirmed that every month since June 2023 has exceeded the “hottest ever” number, and March 2024 is no exception.

Globally, last March was 1.58 degrees Celsius warmer than the historical average during the reference period of 1850 to 1900, according to climate scientists.

Copernicus reported that temperatures in March were above average in multiple regions of the world, including Antarctica, Greenland, eastern North America, eastern Russia, Central America, parts of South America, and southern Australia.

Copernicus attributed the record temperature rises to a combination of global warming caused by human activity and the El Niño climate pattern, and this increase includes the highest monthly levels ever recorded in the atmosphere and oceans.

The announcement comes after 2023 was officially identified as the hottest year on record, and is likely to be the hottest in tens of thousands of years.
