Over 100 people died as a result of the brutal heat in June, leaving Mexico reeling from the tragic toll the heat had taken.
Heatwaves are now impacting several nations in Latin America as a result of the effects of climate change driving temperatures to record highs.
Scientists stress that global warming is accelerating extreme weather occurrences, such as previously unheard-of heatwaves across numerous countries.
Data made public by the Mexican Health Ministry on Wednesday showed that over 1,000 heat-related crises were registered in the nation between June 12 and June 25, which resulted in 104 fatalities.
There have already been 112 fatalities, including the eight that were recorded between April 14 and May 31.
The findings of the health ministry showed that dehydration and heat stroke were the two main causes of mortality.
The northern parts of Mexico had the greatest number of fatalities, with 64 deaths recorded in the state of Nuevo Leon in the northeast and 19 in Tamaulipas, a neighbouring state that also experienced excessive heat and shares a border with Texas, a state in the United States.
The Sonora state in Mexico’s northwest reported a high temperature of 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) this week, according to the health ministry. The typical range of summertime temperatures in Mexico is between 30 and 45 degrees Celsius.
127 million people in Mexico have been warned by the authorities of an oncoming heatwave that is slated to begin on July 1.
The United Nations issued a warning in May indicating that the combination of greenhouse gas emissions and El Nino, which are causing increasing temperatures, will likely result in the five-year period from 2023 to 2027 being the hottest ever recorded.
The growing impact of excessive heat emphasises the urgent need for actions to lessen the effects of climate change and shield vulnerable communities from its repercussions.
