Parts of South America are sweltering under a ‘fierce’ heatwave – and it’s the middle of winter

arts of South America are sweltering under abnormally hot temperatures – despite being in the depths of winter – as the combination of human-caused climate change and the arrival of El Niño feed into extreme winter heat. Southern Cone countries including Chile and Argentina have experienced summer-like conditions as a heat wave, beginning in July, pushed temperatures higher than 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) in some places – dramatically above average for this time of year. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/04/americas/south-america-winter-heatwave-climate-intl/index.html
