The North is covered in ice, the South is in flames!

While winter and cold weather conditions prevail in the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere is struggling with fires caused by extremely hot, dry, and windy weather conditions.

Elchi.az reports that a large part of the Northern Hemisphere is under the influence of freezing cold; especially in Siberia, Northern Canada, and Greenland, temperatures have dropped to record levels, reaching -50 degrees.

Especially in countries in the Northern Hemisphere such as Canada, the USA, Russia, and Japan, where record snowfall has been observed, harsh winter conditions negatively affect all areas of life.

FOREST FIRES IN THE SOUTH

Australia is the country where fires are most devastating, and fires are also affecting Argentina, Chile, and South Africa.

In Australia, fires spread to hundreds of thousands of hectares every year and negatively affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. This year, the city of Victoria in the south and the states of South and Western Australia are fighting fires.

In the state of Victoria, temperatures reach 40-50 degrees, and dry weather and winds have caused major fires at the beginning of the year.
