Currently, more information is being reported about extreme heat conditions extending from North Africa to Europe. In parts of Morocco and Spain, new temperature records for May were set.
However, it is necessary to look at the whole world, because in addition to regions that are clearly too warm, there are also regions that are quite the opposite. They are highlighted in yellow on this review from Climatereanalyzer.

For example, the US state of Colorado recorded snow in May, as reported by the Denver Post.
Brazil is also experiencing unusual cold. Mercopress reported record cold weather for the capital Brasilia, which is further inland. The article quotes meteorologist Estael Sias as explaining the cold is the result of climate change.
An unprecedented cold snap in Brazil in May has been seen as a threat to the country’s thousands of homeless people and to crops, it was reported on Thursday.
The 1.4°C temperature in Brasilia on Thursday became the coldest temperature in the city’s history since the city was founded in 1960, more than a month away from the official start of winter in Brazil. Southern Hemisphere (June 21).
Sao Paulo also recorded its most unusual temperature on Wednesday of 6.6°C, the second lowest in May since 1990, when it hit -4°C.
Meteorologist Estael Sias explained: The sudden drop in temperature was caused by Cyclone Yakecan, whose “anomalous trajectory” pulled an air current from Antarctica and “spread it across the South American interior”. Sias also said these “most extreme and anomalous” climate events are “a consequence of climate change”.
However, in general, the anomaly is 0 degrees worldwide, which can be seen from the map.
Climatreanalyzer also calculates with reference values from 1979-2000, but at that time the Earth was colder. Compared to the current reference value, it can even mean cooling. Important: This is purely a cut-off date consideration!
