The city of Isesaki was particularly affected by the heatwave, along with parts of Kyoto where tourists often find themselves in difficulty. Globally July was the third hottest month ever recorded, thus interrupting the streak of records set in previous months, but experts warn that this does not mean average temperatures are starting to decline, and in practice the heat sometime lingered over Arctic regions with serious consequences on ice melting.

It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on environmental issues the recent wave of bad weather that has affected some regions in Italy with hailstorms, gusts of wind and strong whirlwinds in some cases; then a few days ago the declaration of a state of emergency in New York and New Jersey in the United States due to heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding.

Scientific data on European climate changes

European authorities are said to be intent on equipping themselves with scientific data on climate and weather changes of their own rather than relying on that coming from the United States, which has historically been free and openly accessible worldwide, but recently significant cuts across various scientific sectors have made some so-called relevant data unavailable. The alternative view regarding the impact of climate pollution emissions provided by a U.S. energy department is questionable, then researchers interested in climate change have been penalized, with many web pages on the subject being deleted in addition to other discouraging actions. It has long been well known that investing to prevent climate change costs much less than intervening in extreme events which often also result in many casualties, injuries, and prolonged stress.
