An international team of climate experts known as the World Weather Attribution initiative analyzed the late June heatwave in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and came to a preliminary conclusion that it was a roughly 1-in-1,000-year event.
The extreme weather has bent roads, melted power cables, and triggered heat warnings for 50 million people in North America.
But other continents are suffering too. In Europe, for example, a massive forest fire is ravaging Greece for the 7th day.
However, pictures often speak louder than words. So Bored Panda compiled a collection of vivid images that perfectly sum up how the high temperatures have affected people and their surroundings this summer.
