Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired on 24 May 2021 by one of the two Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows the city of Yekaterinburg in central Russia. On the day on which this image was acquired, a record temperature of 34.7°C was measured in the city, breaking the previous record that dated back to 1952. This record temperature was caused by a persistent and exceptional heatwave that is affecting Russia, the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula where, on 21 May, a sweltering temperature of 49.6°C was reached. The open data provided by the Copernicus satellite missions enables us to develop a better understanding of the environmental phenomena linked to climate change.
