JAKARTA - The United States (NASA) Aeronautics and Space Agency said that summer in 2023 will be the hottest season since global records began in 1880.

This data is obtained from scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Study Institute (GISS) in New York. The data shows that from June to August it is 0.23 degrees warmer than summer in general.

In addition, according to NASA records, this summer is 1.2 degrees hotter than the average in 1951 and 1980. Of the overall summer, August this year is the hottest compared to the average.

This record can be felt in various countries due to its impact. This summer has exacerbated deadly illegal fires in Canada and Hawaii to trigger heat waves in South America, Japan, Europe, and the United States.

This summer also caused quite severe rain in the states of Italy, Greece and Central Europe. This statement was confirmed directly by NASA's Administrator, Bill Nelson.

They (the hottest season) produce dire real-world consequences. From the rising temperatures in Arizona and across the country, to forest fires across Canada, and extreme flooding in Europe and Asia, extreme weather threatens life and survival around the world," Nelson said.

Nelson added that climate change is a terrible threat to the earth and future generations.
