Climate change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and last longer, with Australia and North America recording the biggest increases in magnitude, a study has found. Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20 per cent more slowly, meaning more people stay hot longer, and they are happening 67 per cent more often, according to a study in Friday's Science Advances.
Heat waves slowed down most in Africa, while North America and Australia experienced the biggest increases in overall magnitude, which measures temperature and area, according to the study. "This paper sends a clear warning that climate change makes heat waves yet more dangerous in more ways than one," said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner, who wasn't part of the research.
