Unrelenting Heat
Simultaneous heat waves are now seen seven times more frequently in summer around the Northern Hemisphere than in the 1980s.
Washington State University scientists found that concurrent heat waves the size of some medium-size countries also grew hotter and larger during the period. The team said the heat waves occurred on almost all of the 153 warm days from May through September somewhere in the middle and high latitudes. “More than one heat wave occurring at the same time often has worse societal impacts than a single event,” said Cassandra Rogers.
