Heatwaves are the most unmistakable sign of climate change; in all the trends observed in the past and also in future projections they have worsened and will worsen. The WWA attribution study finds this particularly true for the July 2023 heat waves experienced in southern Europe, China, and also the US. Such heat would have been virtually impossible to occur in the US/Mexico region and southern Europe without anthropogenic climate change.

Although heatwaves are part of our climate, every wave we experience today is already amplified in intensity, extent, frequency, and duration due to global warming.
