2023 heat waves

Last updated

With a deviation of over 0.7 degC from the average of the years 1991 to 2020, July 2023 marks the warmest July ever recorded. Numerous regions in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in southern Europe, went through severe heatwaves, with anomalies of +4 degC in Italy, Greece, and Spain. Additionally, North Africa and the Canadian Arctic saw notably high temperatures, reaching peak anomalies of +5 degC and +7 degC, respectively. More detailed information can be found in the C3S Climate Bulletin. July 2023 was the warmest globally.png

A number of heat waves began across parts of the northern hemisphere in April 2023, many of which are ongoing. Various heat records have been broken, [1] with July being the hottest month ever recorded. [2]

Scientists have attributed the heat waves to man-made climate change. [1] [2] Another cause is the El Niño phenomena which began to develop in 2023. [3] However, recent findings show that climate change is exacerbating the strength of El Niño. [4]

The heatwaves caused severe damage in areas such as the western United States, southern Europe, and parts of Asia. [5] The abnormal temperatures have led to a "very extreme" likelihood of wildfires, according to the Fire Weather Index. [6]

The heatwaves were also occurring alongside some unusually heavy flooding. [7] [8]

In response to the heatwave some leaders called for greater action to stop climate change. [9] President of the United States Joe Biden has taken some measures to protect the population from extreme heat. [10] [11]

Background

2023 saw the highest global average surface temperature in recorded history. 1940-2023 Global surface temperature - stacked - Copernicus.jpg

1994- Global average temperature during June-July-August.svg
2023's June–July–August season was the warmest on record globally by a large margin, as El Niño conditions continued to develop. [13]
1940- September global average temperature changes.svg
September 2023 was the warmest September on record globally, with an average surface air temperature 0.5 °C above the temperature of the previous warmest September (2020). [14]

Heat waves are one of the deadliest hazards, and in line with the IPCC prediction their frequency and magnitude are rising due to man-made climate change. The July heat wave in Southern Europe and North America would be virtually impossible and the heat wave in China would be a 1 in 250-year event without climate change. But due to climate change those events are now common. [1]

July 2023 was the hottest July on Earth in the last 120,000 years and the hottest July from the beginning of temperature measurement with a wide margin. [2] During each day in July 2023, two billion people experienced heat conditions made at least three times more likely due to climate change and 6.5 billion people experienced this impact at least one day in the month. [5]

Another cause is the El Niño phenomena which began to develop in 2023. El Niño begin when parts of the Pacific Ocean became warmer than average and generally cause a rise in the global temperature as it "is moving some of the energy up from depth and dumping it into the atmosphere", [3] However, recent findings show that climate change is exacerbating the strength of El Niño. It is increasing "the "variability" of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation" creating both stronger El Niño and La Niña events. [4]

Climate change may also cause changes in the jet streams that probably contributed to the heat waves. Warming in certain Arctic regions makes the jet stream weaker and wavier, causing different weather patterns to stay longer over the same place. [15]

International

2023 was the hottest year on record, 1.48 °C warmer than the pre-industrial level. [16]

The money is partly coming from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act. Biden also met the mayors of Phoenix, Arizona and San Antonio to understand better the needs of the cities who were severely impacted by the heatwave. Even before the heatwave some measures already have been taken: cooling centers and more efficient buildings. [10] [11]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Heat wave</span> Prolonged period of excessively hot weather

A heat wave or heatwave, sometimes described as extreme heat, is a period of abnormally hot weather. A time period of five consecutive days is often used to define a heat wave but the exact definition of a heat waves can vary for different countries. A heat wave is usually measured relative to the usual climate in the area and to normal temperatures for the season. Temperatures that humans from a hotter climate consider normal, can be regarded as a heat wave in a cooler area. This would be the case if the warm temperatures are outside the normal climate pattern for that area. High humidity often occurs during heat waves as well. This is especially the case in oceanic climate countries. Heat waves have become more frequent, and more intense over land, across almost every area on Earth since the 1950s, the increase in frequency and duration being caused by climate change.


The 2007 European heat wave affected most of Southern Europe and the Balkans. The phenomenon began affecting Italy and Turkey on 17 June and expanded into Greece and the rest of the Balkans, Hungary and Ukraine on 18 June. The costs of the heat wave were estimated at 2 billion euros.

The first phase of the global heatwaves was caused by a moderate El Niño event, which lasted from June 2009 to May 2010. This lasted only from April 2010 to June 2010 and caused only moderate above-average temperatures in the affected regions, but it also set new record high temperatures for most of the area affected in the Northern Hemisphere.

The 2013 heatwave in the United Kingdom and Ireland was a period of unusually hot weather primarily in July 2013, with isolated warm days in June and August.

The 2018 European drought and heat wave was a period of unusually hot weather that led to record-breaking temperatures and wildfires in many parts of Europe during the spring and summer of 2018. It is part of a larger heat wave affecting the northern hemisphere, caused in part by the jet stream being weaker than usual, allowing hot high-pressure air to linger in the same place. According to the European Drought Observatory, most of the areas affected by drought are across northern and central Europe. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the severe heat waves across the northern hemisphere in the summer of 2018, are linked to climate change in Europe, as well as events of extreme precipitation.
