ok but even if they are not record high numerically, can we say that generally it’s been very hot? here is a paragraph an LLM produced for me about wildfires. a tree in hongcheon is reporting on the situation and i am trying to define if what’s written is legit:
Though my roots are anchored here, the wind carries word of what burns beyond the horizon in the southeastern hills. And from March 21st until May 15th of this year more than 20 separate blazes eradicated over 250,000 acres of forest. Ecosystems vanished in fire. Flames erupted simultaneously and raced toward the sea, tearing across the country. Humans can escape, their evacuees numbering over 30,000, but we trees cannot react as quickly. Entire valleys of us were reduced to ash.
Though I stood almost 300 kilometers to the north, I felt what my rooted relatives felt: the same shifting wind patterns, the same record-high temperatures, the same half-vanished winter.
