A hot day by 2100 may have extra 4 hours of extreme heat if high emissions continue: study
A study projects that by 2100, a hot day could experience an additional four hours of extreme heat if high emissions continue. Researchers from China's Sun Yat-sen University found that low and middle-income countries will be disproportionately affected, with the potential for non-hot days to gain three extra hot hours. The findings emphasize the need for hourly assessments of heat extremes for better public health planning and risk management.
