10 sats \ 2 replies \ @dollarparity 30 May 2024 \ on: Delhi 52.9 to Iran 66 degrees Celsius: Heatwaves are breaking records globally news
China saw a record of 52 degrees Celsius last year. India’s temperature increase is less pronounced compared to the global average but still significant. Heatwaves are becoming more common, even in typically cooler months.
I'm not especially knowledgeable regarding space-weather....but there have been lots of large solar flares hitting earth recently. Do such flares increase heat reaching earth?
Seems like if the energy burst was large enough to disrupt satellites and power grid, it would be enough to warm ambient air?

That's a good theory, but I think the atmosphere absorbs most of this energy without noticeable temperature changes. https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2019/09/18/why-solar-flares-arent-heating-the-earth/
