U.N. asks nations to better prepare, cool the vulnerable as
'extreme heat epidemic' breaks records

After three of Earth's hot-
test days ever measured,
the United Nations called
for a flurry of efforts to try
to reduce the human toll
from soaring and searing
temperatures, calling it "an
extreme heat epidemic."
"If there is one thing that
unites our divided world, it's
that we're all increasingly
feeling the heat," United
Nations Secretary-Gener-
al Antonio Guterres said
Thursday at a news con-
ference where he high-
lighted that Monday was
the hottest day on record,
surpassing the mark set just
a day earlier. "Earth is be-
coming hotter and more
dangerous for everyone,
everywhere."
Bathers cool off in the water while others sunbathe on a Barcelona beach, Spain, Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Several regions of Spain
are under alert for high temperatures.
