English: A severe heatwave is affecting southern Asia: on 26 April 2022, the Dadu weather station in Pakistan recorded an extreme temperature of 47 °C, among the highest temperatures recorded in the Northern Hemisphere in 2022. According to a recent update of an Indian Meteorological Department study, while the period from March to June is usually very hot, the current heatwave has an unusual character and is likely to be a manifestation of climate change. The extreme weather will have significant consequences on the health of over one billion people and threatens to damage wheat yields across the region. In fact, some of the areas most hit by the heatwave are also among the biggest producers of wheat. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 26 April 2022, shows the areas most affected by the extreme temperatures. The Copernicus Sentinel missions retrieve accurate data essential to assess the impacts of climate change on the environment. In the European State of Climate 2022 report published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), an entire section is dedicated to assessing the global context. This section looks at several global Climate Indicators, including temperature.
