A new study highlights that climate change is leading to more frequent, intense, and rapid temperature flips worldwide. These sudden shifts can be hazardous, particularly for low-income nations, which face exposure increases four to six times above the global average. The researchers emphasize that without quick adaptation, health risks could escalate dramatically. Instances like the 'false spring' of March 2012 or the abrupt transition from heat to snow in September 2020 demonstrate the dire impacts of these temperature flips on crops, infrastructure, and daily life.
Climate change leads to more frequent and more severe temperature flips, such as warm winter days followed by sudden cold snaps.
The number of people at risk from temperature flips could increase by over 100 percent by the end of the century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase.
