The UN sounds the alarm after rising temperatures: "Code red"

The rising temperatures in the world should mean a global "code red", says Celeste Saulo, Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization WMO. Speaking at a climate forum in Singapore, the WMO chief stressed that temperatures are rising too much.

Australia, Japan, parts of China and Norway all recorded record-warm August months, writes the AFP news agency. The average global temperature for August has not yet been released, but the EU's Copernicus climate service has previously said it will be higher than last year.

Celeste Saulo calls for more support for meteorological agencies and institutes.

New wave of feared debris balloons over South Korea

South Korea states that North Korea has again sent so-called junk balloons towards South Korean territory. Suspicious debris balloons, often filled with pieces of cloth, cigarette butts, manure and other debris, have been spotted north of the capital Seoul.

The Seoul city government is urging residents to stay indoors and be aware of falling objects.

In recent weeks, North Korea has sent thousands of balloons against South Korea in a long, intense battle against the neighboring people. Activists in South Korea have simultaneously sent leaflets with propaganda critical of the regime in Pyongyang.
