Summer Is Starting Much Earlier and Lasting Longer Than Ever

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how summer heatwaves are starting earlier and lasting longer, shifting the traditional seasonal calendar. Referencing The Washington Post and climate experts in Europe, he notes that human-driven climate change is pushing July-like heat into June and extending summer conditions into September. This trend also heightens risks from hurricanes, as warmer ocean waters persist longer into the year.
