Extreme heat days added by climate change
Within the past 12 months, no part of the world was spared from dangerous extreme heat . In every country, human-caused climate change added more extreme heat days.
Again, you are listening egreenews and today we are chatting again about heat waves specially some of the last reports from Climate Central as well as the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the World Weather Attribution.
● Four billion people across the world experienced at least one additional month (30+ days) of extreme heat days because of climate change.
● In 195 countries/territories, climate change at least doubled the number of extreme heat days, as compared to a world without climate change.
● Of all countries/territories, Aruba experienced the most days with extreme heat — 187 days. Without human-induced climate change, the average person in Aruba would have experienced only 45 such days.

Quick pause here — we’re talking heat action with some powerful insights from the Climate Central as well as the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the World Weather Attribution.
Their Extreme Heat Initiatives seriously open your eyes.
Avatar 2:
Absolutely. Their approach is setting new standards for handling heat. You’re listening to EGreenews Conversations, naturally. Now, back to what you asked.

So much info coming your way, huh?

Actually, it’s more like a bunch of questions! Ready to get started?
Avatar 1
Yeah, but how exactly should I begin?

Thanks for sharing that! I will write it down today!
The event with the strongest influence of climate change occurred across the Pacific Islands from May 1-30, 2024. It was made at least 69 times more likely because of climate change.
● The next event with the strongest influence of climate change was in Central America and northern South America from Aug. 30 to Sept. 4, 2024, which was made at least 24 times more likely because of climate change.
● In Africa, the event with the strongest influence of climate change stretched across central and western Africa — from Senegal to South Sudan and the Central African Republic — from Dec. 14-30, 2024. It was made at least 15 times more likely because of climate change.
● In Asia, the event with the strongest influence of climate change was in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Bahrain from July 11-16, 2024. It was made 14 times more likely because of climate change.
● In Europe, the event with the strongest influence of climate change stretched from Greece to Romania, down into Asia and the Middle East, impacting Egypt, from June 5-10, 2024. It was made at least 11 times more likely because of climate change.
Avatar 1: Ever notice there’s always a catch to learning new stuff?
Avatar 2: For sure! Not enough data, not the whole story—always missing something.
Avatar 1: True, but it’s more about curiosity—finding new views from experts or what we experience.
Avatar 2: Yep, mixing expert advice with real life makes it click.
Avatar 1: It can get overwhelming, though.
Avatar 2: Definitely. With so much out there, picking a place to start is tough.
Avatar 1: If you want to dig into heat resilience, check the Climate Central
Avatar 2: Great call. I’m a fan of The and the World Weather Attribution—super innovative.
Avatar 1: And the as well as the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre has loads of helpful heat safety info.
Avatar 2: Right, but people move things forward. Like Hugi Hernandez at Egreenews.org—he keeps climate talk creative.
Avatar 1: There’s a whole network building solutions. Egreenews is launching new hubs, like eDisaster, so you can learn risk and resilience 24/7.
Avatar 2: That’s awesome. Whether learning or connecting, there’s inspiration everywhere. LinkedIn’s packed with changemakers too.
Avatar 1: So—want to start? These talks matter. Together, we prep our communities for disaster.
Avatar 2: I’m in. Stick around—we’ll compare heat with other weather and what that means for leaders.
Avatar 1: Hey, seriously, gracias a montón for being here today — really means a lot!
Avatar 2: Yeah, thanks so much for sticking with us! ¡Hasta luego, everybody! Catch you all next time for sure.
Avatar 1: Totally my pleasure. See you soon! Ciao, sayonara, and... you know, just take care till then!
e systemic nature of these impacts reflects the interdependence of infrastructure, public health, and environmental systems under stress from rising temperatures.
