Study says since 1979 climate change has made heat waves last longer, spike hotter, hurt more people

Global heat waves are moving 20% more slowly, 67% more often since 1979. The highest temperatures in heat waves are now warmer than 40 years ago. Eurasia is especially impacted.
Heatwaves are persisting longer due to weakening atmospheric waves moving weather systems. Computer simulations attribute the change to heat-trapping emissions from coal, oil, and natural gas.
Heatwaves travel further due to slower speeds: 340 to 280 kilometers per day since the 1980s. Despite slower speeds, the total distance covered has increased.

Study says since 1979 climate change has made heat waves last longer, spike hotter, hurt more people

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer A new study says climate change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas. Friday’s study calculates that since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20% more slowly meaning more people stay hot longer and they are happening 67% more often. The study finds the highest temperatures in the heat waves are war…

Large masses of warm air are moving slower and prolonging heat waves, says study.

Scientists analyze four decades' data and blame climate change for increasing high-temperature days Scientists have already shown that climate change is making heat waves more frequent and widespread. Hot air masses are also moving further away, and a new study points to another variable that makes the phenomenon worse: These high-temperature bubbles are moving slower than before on land. That finding means that, in addition to being more intens…
