Global study reveals how heat stress is intensifying worldwide

ECMWF & The Copernicus Programme A new study published in Nature Climate Change uses the Copernicus Climate Change Service’s (C3S) ERA5-HEAT dataset to provide a comprehensive global-scale analysis of how heat stress has evolved since 1950. Using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), the study shows that hazardous heat is becoming more frequent, more intense…
