In Canada and in the northwestern United States, a record heat wave Reigns

The high-pressure zone, which stretched from California to the Arctic regions of Canada and caused extreme heat, is now spreading inland and has already reached the states of South and North Dakota, the province of Saskatchewan. According to weather forecasts, high air temperatures will remain until Sunday inclusive.

The so-called" heat dome " is a fixed high-pressure zone that acts like a lid over a pot.

In many regions, temperatures have reached the highest values in the entire history of observations. So, in Canada, in British Columbia in the town of Lytton, which is located 250 km south of Vancouver, on Sunday the air temperature reached 46.6 ^OhC, which is a record figure for the last 84 years. At this time, the temperature in Dubai was 38-41 ^OhS.

According to the Canadian police, in the suburbs of Vancouver, Barnaby and Surrey, the heat killed 69 people, as most homes in these regions are not air-conditioned.

The greatest heat wave is observed in the western United States (Washington and Oregon) and in the Canadian province of British Columbia. However, meteorologists warn that the heat wave may reach the agricultural states of Montana, South and North Dakota, and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.

In these regions, mainly spring crops are grown, and in the spring there was already a lack of precipitation. Therefore, the new heat wave will be the second one that these areas will suffer from this year.

Against the background of unfavorable weather conditions, November canola futures continued the growth that began on Monday and rose by another 2.2% to 797.5 CAD/ton or 6 643.56/ton, adding 7.8% starting from Friday.
