    Japan recorded the highest ever temperature of 41.2 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, beating the previous high of 41.1 C marked in 2018 and 2020. Authorities are strongly urging people to take precautions to avoid risks of heatstroke.

    The mercury hit the above-human temperature of 41.2 C in the city of Tanba, Hyogo Prefecture, at 14:39, while two cities — Fukuchiyama in Kyoto and Nishiwaki in Hyogo — also recorded extremely high temperatures of 40.6 C and 40 C, respectively.

          "Take precautions" = Run A/C = Problem gets worse.
          We're really here, aren't we. Hope humans get good at terraforming or building tunnels, real fast.

              That's how hot it has been in the factory I work in for like the last week already... It's disgusting. Between 102F-106F

              Hope they get some relief soon!

                    Climate change is here early. Probably because of undeclared or regulated methane release which is a far worse gas as far as trapping heat. Traps waaay more heat than carbon dioxide, and the US, Russia, and China dump huge quantities of it.

                    Not to mention the pockets of it in the melting ice caps.

                        I have endured a Phoenix, Arizona heat at just under 120° F and opening my motel door was like opening an oven to check on something you're baking. Our rental car had to have the AC on for about 3 minutes before sitting in the seats wasn't searingly painful. It took about 5 minute for the steering wheel to be comfortable enough to grip for more than a few seconds.

                              We are on the trajectory that has been foreseen by climate scientists quite well. The problem is that a rise in average temperature does not just mean where it used to be 35°C max. it will be 36.5°C max. but rather the extremes will increase much stronger, so you get 40°C or more even though the average only increased by 1.5°C

                              As for methane leaks, we can detect them quite well nowadays using satellite imaging. You are correct, that the US, Russia and China show substantial leaks, India, Iran and a bunch of others are also in the mix.

                                          Climate change is here early. Probably because of undeclared or regulated methane release which is a far worse gas as far as trapping heat. Traps waaay more heat than carbon dioxide, and the US, Russia, and China dump huge quantities of it.

                                          Not to mention the pockets of it in the melting ice caps.

                                          I suspect you’re correct purely because Trump stopped methane monitoring.
