Mexico has been reeling from a high-pressure weather phenomenon known as a “heat dome,” which has trapped hot air over much of the country, creating record-breaking temperatures that have surpassed 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) in some places.
Heat-related causes killed 22 people between May 12 and 21, according to preliminary figures shared by Mexico’s health ministry.
The 10-day period overlapped with the second and third heat waves out of five forecast for March to July by the country’s top weather agencies. The third heat wave is ongoing.
