Rare high temperatures in many parts of the world! Experts: Global warming has increased the probability of extreme heat waves by a factor of 30

The biggest and strongest heat in the range has hit this year

According to the news of China Weather Network, starting on the 15th, the largest and strongest high temperature in the range this year has struck. There are persistent high temperature weather in southern Hebei, Henan, Shandong, northern Hubei, northern Suwan and western Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, western Gansu and other places, with the highest temperature reaching 35~38°C and locally reaching about 40°C! In particular, the high temperature in Henan, Shandong, southern Hebei and other places has a long duration and intensity.

The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a high temperature orange warning at 06:00 on June 19, and it is expected that during the day on June 19, the maximum temperature in parts of western and south-central China, Huanghuai, eastern Jianghuai, guanzhong in Shaanxi, central and western Inner Mongolia, and northern Hainan Island in Guanzhong, central and western Inner Mongolia, and northern Hainan Island will have a high temperature of more than 35 °C, of which the maximum temperature in parts of northern central Inner Mongolia, southern Hebei, central and western Shandong, northern and central henan, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu and other places will be 37 to 39 °C, and the local areas in northeast Henan and western Shandong can reach more than 40 °C.

Zhengzhou became the first provincial capital city in China to break 40 °C

The current round of high temperature process in Henan has a wide range of influence, strong intensity and long duration. From June 16 to 17, Henan's high temperature was fierce and became the national heat center, and Zhengzhou appeared 40 °C+ for two consecutive days, and also became the first provincial capital city in the country to exceed 40 °C this year.

Why is the heat so fierce? Shi Yan, a meteorological analyst at the China Weather Network, said that due to the eastward shift of the mainland's warm high-pressure ridge, the dry hot gas mass in the northwest moved east to the Henan area, and at the same time, the bottom south wind strengthened to the north, coupled with the sparse cloud cover, it will heat up rapidly under the blessing of strong light. Moreover, the warm high pressure ridge control lasted for a long time, resulting in the long duration of this round of high temperature, and the ground continued to accumulate heat, so that the heat force was "increased" on the basis of the original.

According to Henan meteorological news, most of the province will still have 4 days of high temperature weather, it is expected that from the 19th to the 22nd, the maximum temperature of most of the province will remain above 37 ° C, some counties and cities in the north and central region can reach 39 to 41 ° C, and on the 23rd, the province will usher in a large-scale precipitation, most counties and cities have small to medium showers, thunderstorms, of which most counties and cities in the west, southwest and east have heavy rain, local heavy rain, thunderstorms accompanied by strong convective weather such as short-term strong precipitation.

Rare heat waves occur in many parts of the world

While the mainland has many provinces with high temperatures, many parts of the world are currently experiencing extreme high temperature weather.

Many parts of India are currently experiencing extreme heat, with the highest temperature reaching nearly 50 °C at one point. According to Reuters, India has experienced unprecedented heat waves since late March. Temperatures in many parts of northern, western and eastern India exceed 40°C. According to preliminary statistics, nearly 100 people have died due to extreme heat weather, and the hot drought has also affected local crop harvests and exacerbated the risk of forest fires and power outages.

According to CNN reported on the 18th, a new wave of heat waves is sweeping the United States, and it is expected that in the next seven days, more than 240 million Americans will experience high temperatures of 32 ° C or more, and the temperature in some states will reach 38 ° C. On the 19th local time, more than 25 million people in more than a dozen states in the United States were under the high temperature alarm. Among them, the temperature in St. Louis has reached 29 °C, and it is expected that by the 21st, the temperature will rise to 38 °C, and the temperature in Chicago will also rise to 35 °C. In nebraska and some parts of North Dakota, temperatures are also expected to reach above 38°C in the coming days.

At the same time, some people in Europe are also experiencing the roasting. According to a spokesman for Spain's National Meteorological Service, Spain, after experiencing the hottest May in at least 100 years, ushered in "abnormal" high temperatures in early June, with temperatures in the central and southern regions breaking through 40°C on June 13, and even as high as 43°C in Andalusia. The current heat wave could bring "extreme heat" and "continue into this weekend". In addition, he warned that the heat wave would spread across Europe in the next few days. It is reported that on June 15, 2022, local time, a forest fire broke out in the Lyle Mountains in Zaragoza Province, Navarre Autonomous Region, Spain, and helicopters were dispatched to spray flame retardants. Heat waves are currently sweeping through Spain, with temperatures climbing above 40°C in some areas.

In addition, since April, the temperature in France has been higher than normal for more than 30 consecutive days, and the French Meteorological Agency has also issued continuous high temperature warnings. Meteo france said that from June 15, most parts of France will experience temperatures of 38 degrees Celsius or even 40 degrees Celsius, which is "premature" for this season. About a third of France has reportedly begun to impose water restrictions and is urging farmers, factories and public service providers to conserve water.

According to the survey, the cause of global warming over the years is not just due to the so-called "high temperature heat wave". In addition to the associated natural factors, anthropogenic factors are the main causes of climate warming: excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, widespread use of fossil fuels, excessive meat consumption and excessive consumption of luxury goods.

Scientists analyzed that as the global temperature continues to rise, the world's heat wave will become more and more frequent and intense, and its impact will become more and more extensive.

On May 23, experts quantifying the effects of global warming on extreme weather events said in a report that global climate change has increased the likelihood of a harsh heat wave like the one that swept through India and Pakistan in March and April 30 times.

Friedrick Otto, a scientist at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London, said in a report on May 23 that the probability of extreme heat weather in regions like South Asia this year is about once every 3,000 years before human-caused climate change begins. Researchers at Otto and the World Organization for Climate Attribution have found that the reality of global warming of 1.2°C to date has shortened the so-called return period of extreme heat of similar duration and intensity to that of south Asia to once in a century. But as the planet continues to heat up, the interval between occurrences of such deadly heat waves will shrink even further. The researchers project that if Earth's average surface temperature rises another 0.8°C above pre-industrial levels, heat waves like these are expected to occur every 5 years.
