Sizzling daytime temperatures that triggered cases of heat stroke in parts of the United States were 35 times more likely and 2.5 degrees hotter because of the warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.
Doctors say cooler night temperatures are key to surviving a heat wave. Climate change made nighttime temperatures 2.9 degrees warmer and unusual evening heat 200 more times more likely.
At least 125 people have died so far. This heatwave is clearly related to climate change, showcasing the heightened risks and intensity, according to study co-author Karina Izquierdo.
