Longer, Hotter Heat Waves Become the New Normal

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a new LA Times article highlighting research that shows heat waves are not only becoming more intense but are also lasting longer. The study emphasizes that even slight increases in global temperatures could significantly extend the duration of extreme heat events. McIntyre notes that cities like New York and London are already experiencing prolonged high temperatures, raising urgent concerns about infrastructure, public health, and agriculture in a warming world.
