A new system capable of predicting extreme heat four to seven weeks before summer, could give valuable time to improve preparedness. This might change the game for forecasts of extreme weather.
Scientists have developed a way to predict heatwaves 4-7 weeks in advanceA team of scientists has developed a system capable of predicting extreme heat four to seven weeks before summer, giving valuable time to improve preparedness.
Scientists have combined machine learning with climate science to forecast heatwaves four to seven weeks in advance, providing a breakthrough for early warnings of risks to health and livelihoods.
Heatwaves such as those experienced in 2003, 2010 and 2022, have caused devastating impacts across Europe, including agricultural losses, spikes in energy use, health crises, and increased death.
Climate projections suggest that heatwaves will last longer and become more intense as the climate warms, making accurate forecasting crucial for saving lives.
