Climate Central, World Weather Attribution (WWA) and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center published a report on heat waves and the number of people exposed to extreme heat around the world.
The report examines extreme heat events during 2023, the world's hottest year on record, and 11 consecutive months (June 2023 - April 2024) where global temperatures broke records, and finds that the human-caused climate crisis is increasing dangerous extreme heat for billions of people and making hot weather events longer and more likely.
In the report, the number of days that were warmer than 90 percent of the temperatures observed in local regions during the 1991-2020 period is expressed as the number of extremely hot days.
Highlights
The prominent findings of the report are as follows:
The report also includes data from Turkey. According to the calculation made by taking the exposure of people living in specific regions as a reference and taking the average of the entire population, due to the impact of the climate crisis, Türkiye experienced 47.6 days of extreme heat in 2023.
If it were not for the impact of the climate crisis, this number would be 18.8 days.
