Climate change
Compared to the end of the previous century, the frequency of heat waves is projected to increase by a factor 2 at mid-century. The projected frequency increase of heat waves by the end of this century depends on the rate of climate change. Up to 4 heat waves are projected under a high-end scenario of climate change.
