As Europe and other regions swelter, a UN researcher cautioned that climate change was enabling increasingly intense and long-lasting heat waves, which in some areas could soon begin to hit year-round.
Extreme heat has dominated the headlines in recent weeks, from the current"heat dome" cooking much of Europe, to heat-fueled wildfires raging in Greece, Spain, Canada and Hawaii, and soaring temperatures in the middle of the South American winter.
As the jet stream waves grow slower and wavier, they allow weather systems to"become parked" in one spot for longer. "The slowing down and parking of the weather patterns is setting us up so that North America, parts of the Atlantic ocean, Europe and Asia are simultaneously sitting in the ridges, getting caught."
Higher overnight temperatures also mean that the energy accumulated during the day has nowhere to go, pushing temperatures even higher the next day.
