This doesn't look good:

Eight locations experienced temperatures of 50C + this year, most of them in the Tropic of cancer.

Hotest spot was Death Valley, USA, 7/7/24 - 53.9

the rest in deciding order, all 50C + peak:

Jahra, Kuwait
Sindh, Pakistan
Sanbao, China
Tepache, Mexico
Abadan, Iran
Churu, India
Agadir, Morocco
Hassi Messaaod, Algeria
Arafat, Saudi Arabia.

Moreover, the impact of these peaks has been intensified by high humidity.

climate change is here!
