A new study reveals that heatwaves leading to drought are increasing globally due to climate change. Researchers from South Korea and Australia found that extreme weather events, particularly those where heat precedes drought, have risen significantly from 2.5% in the 1980s to 16.7% by 2023. The study highlights the alarming acceleration of these events, with heat-first droughts being more damaging. The findings emphasize the interconnectedness of climate extremes and the urgent need for awareness and action. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
