A heat wave, or heatwave, or extreme heat, is a period of abnormally hot weather. It is often accompanied by high humidity, especially in oceanic climate countries. While definitions vary, a heat wave is usually measured relative to the usual climate in the area and relative to normal temperatures for the season. Temperatures that people from a hotter climate consider normal can be called a heat wave in a cooler area if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that area. Heatwaves have become more frequent, and over land more intense, almost everywhere since the 1950s, due to climate change.
