Tracking #extremeheat by the hour makes #climatechange seem even worse
Hot hours of #summer could triple in the coming decades
Researchers defined extreme heat as anything above the 90th percentile of recorded temps between 1981-2010. To put this in context, the global average over the last four decades has been that people experience about 270 hours of “hourly heat extremes". But that average obscures a very obvious trend: that it has been increasing by 62hr per decade https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/08/tracking-extreme-heat-by-the-hour-makes-climate-change-seem-even-worse/ -
