This research sheds light on extreme temperature trends tied to complex physical interactions we don’t fully understand, revealing alarming regional hothouses across the globe.
The first global map of these heat-affected areas shows record-breaking temperatures occurring in these regions, exemplified by Lytton, British Columbia, whose temperature soared to an unprecedented 121.3°F.
Over the past five years, extreme heat waves are notably increasing in regions such as Asia, Greenland, and northwestern Europe, with some areas warming twice as fast as usual.
Regions identified as temporary hothouses illustrate critical climate shifts, as their recent extreme heat events are leaving lasting impacts on both human life and agriculture.
