Most of the highly active accounts were from the UK, USA and India (Table 2), three countries with a large English-speaking population. However, despite having many followers, the heat or heat wave-related tweets posted by these accounts did not receive a lot of engagement, as shown by ...
Scientists say extreme weather is rewriting climatic history in 2023, and heat waves, rise in sea levels, droughts, wildfires and hurricanes will continue to hit hard. Why does the power grid matters? The challenge of a heat wave is that a grid has to constantly balance its power supply and...

Heat wave is defined, according to the World Meteorological Organization21, as an extreme weather event with marked warming of the air over a large area that usually lasts from few days to few weeks. It has to be clearly above the usual values and thus, high percentiles are needed to chara...
Marine heatwaves have been linked to negative ecological effects in recent decades1,2. If marine heatwaves regularly induce community reorganization and biomass collapses in fishes, the consequences could be catastrophic for ecosystems, fisheries and hum

Meanwhile, Australia and Uruguay matched their national records last year, with 50.7°C in Onslow and 44.0°C in Florida respectively, and the UK saw the mercury break an all-time high in July 2022 as it passed the 40°C barrier.

Besides, the influence of El Nino and La Nina episodes on heat wave fluctuation in PM can be investigated. Statistical models can be developed to quantify the relative contributions of climate change and El Nino/La Nina to heatwave trends. The projections of global climate models can be down...
