Why are we in this #heatwave? A large High (CW feature over the Gulf/S US) is acting as a dome to trap heat via sinking air. A Low over the N Plains should drop a front our way Tue/Wed to bring us some relief thru increased rain/cloud cover. https://t.co/GkA3BIklg3

The heatwave gripping parts of Europe has reached new heights.
Switzerland has new altitude record for the freezing point of 5,298 m (17,381 feet), measured by @meteosuisse radiosonde above Payerne.
Much of the country is under #heatwave alert. #StateofClimate

A reminder from @greenpeacefr as millions suffer from extreme heat around the world: global heat waves are fossil fuel-driven climate chaos. #heatwave #makepolluterspay
Nous sommes actuellement sur l'Esplanade de la Défense pour dénoncer la responsabilité de l’industrie des énergies fossiles dans le réchauffement climatique et la multiplication des évènements climatiques extrêmes. #canicule - Greenpeace France

An escalating #heatwave has covered large parts of Asia, including India.

The extreme heatwave event has posed significant risks to millions of people across the country as over 50% of the workforce is engaged in agriculture. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/IyFTllsqbt

RT @GreenpeaceSEA: DYK?: Cities are often several degrees warmer than in rural areas because heat trapped by concrete and dark-coloured roads and buildings creates a "heat island" effect, meaning nighttime temperatures also remain high.

192 lives were lost between 11 to 19June due to the recent #heatwave in Delhi, India. This highlights the urgent need for solutions like cooling centres, adequate shelters, and addressing the causes of homelessness.

We must act now. https://t.co/Ocpz22UEp1

📈#DYK that 23 of the 30 most severe heatwaves in Europe since 1950 have occurred since 2000?

But what is exactly a #heatwave and what are their consequences to public health?

It has been a really hot summer for most of us🥵🌡️!

Dry air plays a surprisingly important role in these heatwaves by suppressing upward movement of warm, moist air, a process that usually cools the surface.

RT @OceanaEurope: During the summer, we often face intense heat waves—but did you know the oceans experience them too?🌡️🌊

Generally, the consequences of a marine #HeatWave are much greater than those of a heat wave on land.

RT @CommsEarth: 🌐☀️Global #heatwave days can be classified: sunny-humid, sunny-dry, advective, and adiabatic types, with sunny-dry days showing widespread increase from 2000 to 2020, causing #carbon uptake reduction.
