above the 1991-2020 average. <\/p>\n<p>South Korea also saw its second-hottest July, with an average temperature of 27.1 Celsius (80.7 Fahrenheit), according the meteorological office, which has been

cultivation.  <\/p>\n<p>Precipitation in July was low over wide areas of Japan, with northern regions facing the Sea of Japan experiencing record low rainfall, the office added. <\/p>\n<p>The rainy

with separate research estimating that climate change made the temperature up to 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 Fahrenheit) hotter, pushing the thermometer into deadly territory for thousands of vulnerable
