"A new statistical analysis of the interaction between El Niño and rising global temperatures due to #ClimateChange concludes that the approaching summer in the tropics has nearly a 7 in 10 chance of breaking records for temperature and humidity.
The prediction applies to a broad swath of the world straddling the equator, including India and the bulk of Africa, Central and South America and Australia, but also includes Florida and Texas."
"Anticyclonic conditions over the region have been responsible for this heatwave by inhibiting cloud formation, allowing temperatures to rise significantly. These conditions persisted through much of last week, allowing temperatures to reach 35-45C across much of the country."
