"Enormous increase" at maximum daily temperatures goes far beyond what would be natural, researchers say. The results show the influence of climate change "produced by man".
Madrid.- Anthropogenic climate change has caused a ten-fold increase in extreme heat in the period between 2010 and 2024, according to a method for calculating the risks arising from extreme events developed by the University of Graz (Austria). The new calculation method, explained in an article published by Weather and Climate Extremes, can calculate all risk metrics relevant to phenomena such as heat waves, floods and droughts in any region of…
The increase in frequency, duration and magnitude of temperatures goes far beyond natural variation, scientists say.
Calculations made by scientists were based on data sets of maximum daily temperatures between 1961 and 2024
A team led by Gottfried Kirchengast, of the Wegener Global Climate Change Centre of the University of Graz, Austria, has developed a new method to calculate the risks of extreme climate phenomena, which has led to these increases due to climate change caused by human activities. This is due to “the increase in frequency and duration of events, as well as the magnitude of the excessive limits and their spatial extension”, Kirchengast explained in…
