In Mexico, howler monkeys have been dropping from trees “like apples” and dying almost immediately from heatstroke, dehydration, and also from the impact with the ground if they fall from great heights.
Many people have also perished in the long duration heatwaves.
Lack of rainfall throughout the region means that lakes, reservoirs, and rivers are extremely low, and the lack of water for hydroelectric power plants has caused rolling blackouts, even to highly urbanized cities like Mexico City.
Mexico, and other widespread regions in the tropics have been experiencing a record setting heatwave and drought for many weeks, with temperatures reaching over 47C (117 F) in some regions.
Climate change impacts that we are seeing today are brutal in increasing numbers of regions across the planet.
