Heatwaves are warming our rivers too. Since the 1980s: 👉 Compound air–river heatwaves have tripled 👉 River heatwaves are 114% more frequent, 148% longer, and 95% more intense 👉 By 2100, under high emissions, 98.5% of river and atmospherric heatwaves could coincide. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Threefold increase in atmospheric–riverine compound heatwaves under climate change - Nature GeoscienceCo-occurring atmospheric and river heatwaves have tripled since the 1980s across the USA and Europe, and are projected to become the norm by 2100, according to model simulations.www.nature.com
