In different corners of the world, drought and heat are a big concern, such as in India where people have to withstand temperatures around 40 degrees and in Africa, where famine is looming.
Difficult to see it at first glance, but we are in the middle of a lake. That of Broc in the Alpes-Maritimes. Last year at the same time there was six meters of water, today the bands of limestone appear. In question, 70% less precipitation, it has only rained three times in five months in the village of La Penne. The mayor therefore issued a water restriction order as in other villages in the region. Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes or Pays de la Loire, all regions affected by this global drought.
In India, the most important rivers are dry, like the Yamuna river. In the capital New Delhi, temperatures are around 40 degrees on average and residents are suffocating. Unusual temperatures also in neighboring Pakistan. In Islamabad, the capital, power cuts further complicate the living conditions of millions of inhabitants, forced to leave their homes to bathe. In the United States, in Colorado, the fires are multiplying. In Africa, vast territories are now desert and famine threatens 20 million people.
