They are record temperatures and are being lived in different cities in the world. An image manages to graph the heat of Paris from space. Paris was one of the many European cities affected by the recent wave of record heat at the end of June and early July 2025.
The Ecostress Instrument (NASA Ecosystem Thermal Radioter Experiment) registered it. This reached superficial temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius at 06.57, local time, of July 1, just at dawn. It is time when temperatures are cooler.
Extreme heat
Extreme daytime temperatures became exceeding 38 degrees Celsius. And forced the authorities to close the top of the Eiffel Tower on July 1 and 2. In this visualization of ecostress data, dark red indicates higher temperatures. Meanwhile, green and blue indicate lower temperatures. The city is dotted with areas of several apples where surface temperatures exceeded 27 ° C. And this happens even around the Eiffel Tower, before 7 am
The Ecostress instrument measures the thermal infrared emissions of the earth's surface. This allows researchers to monitor plants health. Also the advance of forest fires and earthly surface temperatures. They analyze the risk of burns for people caused by hot surfaces such as asphalt. Earth's surface temperatures are higher than those of the air during the day. Air temperatures, which are measured without direct sunlight, are usually the ones that meteorologists report in a weather forecast, reports NASA.
Global warming
The heat in Paris from space is one of the images that can register this instrument that was launched to the space station in 2018. Its main mission is to identify the thresholds of plants for the use of water and water stress. All this provides information about its ability to adapt to global warming.
