Japan experienced its warmest spring on record this year, the national weather agency said Thursday, as greenhouse gasses and El Nino send temperatures soaring worldwide. | ManilaBulletin
Temperatures across March, April and May were 1.59 degrees Celsius higher than average, the Japan Meteorological Agency said."Global warming has made such record-level temperatures more frequent, and they are expected to become even more common in the future as global warming progresses," it said.
This is partly due to a growing likelihood that the weather phenomenon El Nino will develop in the coming months, fuelling higher global temperatures. The 2015 Paris Agreement saw countries agree to cap global warming at "well below" two degrees Celsius above average levels measured between 1850 and 1900 -- and 1.5C if possible.Much of South and Southeast Asia has sweltered through spring heatwaves as global warming exacerbates adverse weather.
Strong rain in 2021 triggered a devastating landslide in the central resort town of Atami that killed 27 people.
