- What’s considered officially “dangerous heat” in coming decades will likely hit much of the world at least three times more often as climate change worsens.
- Zeppetello and colleagues used more than 1,000 computer simulations to look at the probabilities of two different levels of high heat — heat indexes of 103 degrees (39.4 Celsius) and above 124 degrees (51 Celsius).
