Just as different regions define heat waves differently, the criteria for some weather alerts, especially temperature-relative alerts, vary as well. Even here across the broader Delaware Valley, the criteria for when a heat advisory is issued depends on the location. A heat advisory means that pe...
Heat waves form when “high pressure aloft, from 10,000 to 25,000 feet (3,000 to 7,600 meters), strengthens and remains over a region for several days up to several weeks,” explains the National Weather Service. “This is common in summer (in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres) as...
You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘heat wave’ bandied about in the news, and perhaps wondered what exactly it means. Does one hot day constitute a heat wave? And how hot is hot? Does New Zealand really get that many heat waves? If you’ve ever found yourself wondering about these th...
In areas where climate change has led to longer and more intense heatwaves, what is a potential health risk? A. Decreased allergies. B. Better sleep. C. Respiratory problems. D. Increased physical strength. 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。长时间和高强度的热浪可能导致呼吸问题。A 选项过敏...
This summer, as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhouse gas pollution and El Nino, there has been new openness to the idea of naming heat waves. People in Southern Europe have dubbed the July heat wave Cerberus. The results of a survey of more than 2,0 0 0 people found ...

The first is obvious: The atmosphere is simply warmer than it was 100 year ago and so heat waves are warmer than they used to be. But as you increase the average temperature by a few degrees, your extremes, like heat waves, become more extreme at a greater pace....
More warming to 1.5°C and beyond will worsen such impacts. For example, heatwaves would become both more frequent and more severe.全球升温超过1.5摄氏度将会加剧气候变化的影响。比如，高温将会更频繁地来袭，程度也会更严重。A warmer atmosphere can also hold more moisture, resulting in more ...
What is the most shocking about heatwaves is not merely that they have hit a usually temperate area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, the temperature reached 46.6...
