UN Reports Rising Frequency of Heatwaves
Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and severity of heatwaves in Europe, making them longer and covering wider areas. The United Nations meteorological agency stated that the current heatwave, which is the fifth in a series of heatwaves this summer, is accompanied by droughts, wildfires, and record temperatures. This is due to the interaction of a persistent high-pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere with a warmer climate, which prevents cold air from entering and traps heat, and this is not currently attributed to the El Niño phenomenon.
