The heatwave in the US and Mexico poses risks of heat-related illnesses, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those without access to cooling. Infrastructure, including power grids, may also be strained. In South Africa, the ongoing heavy rainfall and strong winds have already caused widespread flooding, road closures, and power outages. Communities in the Western and Eastern Cape are at risk of further damage, including mudslides and rockfalls. Emergency shelters have been activated, and evacuations have occurred in areas like Gamtoos Valley. The severe weather has already claimed one life and displaced over 2,000 people.
