Certain areas of the world are identified as "hotspots" for interlinked extreme weather events, known as teleconnections, which can have a domino effect on a global scale. Researchers from Beijing Normal University have used a climate network analysis method to identify regions significantly affected by these interconnected events, such as southeastern Australia and South Africa. The impact of teleconnections has been increasing, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, possibly due to climate change and human activities. The findings aim to help predict and address future climate challenges. Additionally, a separate study warns that rising global temperatures could make the US East Coast and Middle America unlivable by 2100, leading to increased health risks and fatalities.

Heat records are being broken around the world this summer, and this trend is expected to continue due to climate change. Factors such as summer in the Northern Hemisphere, increasing marine heat waves, El Niño, and global warming are contributing to the extreme temperatures. It is highly likely that 2023 will be the warmest year on record. The global average temperature is determined using data from satellites, weather stations, ships, and buoys. The National Weather Service collects and verifies weather records in the US. Warm records are being broken more frequently, and there is a rising trend in overnight low temperatures. A new daily global temperature record of 63 degrees was recently set, although there is some dispute over the accuracy of the measurement.
