What is a hot summer? ☀️
A hot summer is a summer period during which temperatures are higher than the usual climate averages for a particular region.
A summer may be considered particularly hot when:
- 🌡️ Average temperatures remain unusually high.
- 🔥 Heatwaves become more frequent or intense.
- 🌙 Night-time temperatures also stay high.
- 💧 Drought conditions may become more severe.
It is important to distinguish between weather and climate: a hot summer describes conditions over a specific period, while climate is studied over several decades.
Due to global warming, very hot summers are becoming more frequent and intense in many parts of the world.
