Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseasonMEXICO CITY - Ten cities in Mexico registered record-high temperatures in 10 cities, including the capital, authorities said on Friday, amid a searing heat wave that has prompted blackouts nationwide and pushed the power grid to the brink.

In Ciudad Victoria, in the northern border state Tamaulipas, across from Texas in the United States, the temperature hit a sweltering 47.4 C on Thursday, breaking the previous high set in 1998. In a weekly report published on Thursday, Mexico's health ministry reported seven heat-related deaths this heat season between its start on March 17 and May 4, a tally that could rise after this week's brutal heat.

Mexico's electricity system regulator issued several alerts this week as demand in some parts of the country exceeded supply.
