Original: 40 °C heat extremes are no longer implausible in the Nordic countries
New research published in Nature's partner journal finds that extreme heat reaching 40 °C is no longer implausible in the Nordic countries, as climate change shifts what were once considered impossible temperature thresholds. The finding has drawn attention on discussion forums, with readers weighing in on how warming trends are making unprecedented heat extremes in northern Europe increasingly realistic.
Why now: A new study suggests unprecedented 40 °C heat could hit the Nordics, sparking debate about accelerating climate change impacts.
