Mexico is bracing for unprecedented temperatures over the next two weeks, with 70% of the country in drought and a third in severe drought. The extreme heat, partly driven by the El Nino phenomenon, has already caused power outages, deaths, and significant impacts on wildlife. The capital, Mexico City, could see record temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius, affecting its 21 million residents, most of whom lack air conditioning. At least 26 people have died from heat-related causes since mid-March.
