The extreme hot weather shattered records in Switzerland last year, marking 2022 as the warmest and sunniest since records began in 1864.

The average temperature climbed to 7.4 degrees Celsius last year from an average 5.8 degrees between 1991 and 2020, the Swiss environment ministry reported on Monday.

This resulted in glaciers losing six percent of their mass – or three cubic kilometers – which is the fastest melt recorded in one year.

    The last line sounded scary with the glacier melting fast.

    I hope the Swiss and everyone experiencing hot temperatures im the world will take care.
