Heatwaves are on the rise in Algeria due to climate change, says specialist

Mahi Tabet-Aoul says Algeria is not responsible for a large amount of greenhouse gases, but it will still suffer greatly from the impact of climate change, reports El Watan de Algerie

While there has been a gradual drop in temperatures, this summer Algerians experienced a heatwave over 40 days. Is this normal?

It's unusual if you live in the northern, coastal Algerian cities, where maximum temperatures never drop below 36C; that's our average body temperature, so it's all related. However, 40C would be a more 'normal' temperature if you live in central Algeria or in the south.
