The Demonic Summer of 1920

The Demonic Summer of 1920, also called A Summer in Hell, was an intense global heat wave that caused ice to melt, sea levels to rise, and temperatures worldwide to soar between 110 and 120 degrees during the day and 100-105 degrees during the night.

Meteorological History
2 days after a Heatwave impacted the Northeastern World Province, temperatures increased dramatically around the world. Daytime highs soared between 110-120 degrees Fahrenheit, and evening lows soared between 100-105 degrees Fahrenheit. Reports from around the world described very bright and vivid auroras dancing across the nighttime skies of every province on the evenings of August 2nd and August 3rd, which is unusual considering auroras usually only occur around the polar regions, which are not covered by the SWWS. Several reports reported a drastic rise in sea, river, and lake levels, most likely due to the melting of polar ice caps. This cooling down of ice and a strong Polar Vortex set in motion the conditions that allowed the formation of the Demonic Relief cold wave that put an end to The Demonic Summer to occur.

Cause
The cause of this historical event was unknown until the year 2017. New technology revealed that the cause of the event was due to a massive wave of solar radiation that has never occurred before or since. This wave hit the Earth and drastically altered the planet's climate, which would have gone on permanently if the Demonic Relief didn't occur

Lasting Effects
Though greatly diminishing through each generation due to not everyone being affected, those who were born from people who gained Melanoma and other similar skin cancers passed the cancer down to their children, with some developing it later in life and others carrying the gene. Through each passing generation, there are less Demonic Summer-caused skin cancer cases, but they do still occur and exist.

Pre-Impact Report (SWWS)
A very deadly and dangerous heat wave has begun to occur worldwide. DO NOT go outside unless you absolutely need to and stay cool.

Post-Impact Report (SWWS)
Temperatures have begun to decrease around the world amidst a cold wave. Severe flooding has occurred globally and several million people have died due to heat related illness. Crops most likely cannot be harvested this year.
