How does the increase in marine heatwaves affect both marine ecosystems and global weather patterns?

The study, the first comprehensive assessment of climate change's impact on marine heatwaves, used a model to isolate the warming effect of climate change. Comparing this model to actual ocean temperatures demonstrates a direct link between global warming and increased marine heatwave intensity and frequency. This warming trend shows a substantial increase in extreme heat days, rising from roughly 15 days in the 1940s to almost 50 days annually on average globally, with some regions experiencing 80 days of extreme heat.

What are the immediate impacts of the extreme heatwave in India?

Parts of India are experiencing dangerously high temperatures, with some areas expecting temperatures 8 degrees Celsius above normal from April 14-18. In the southwest, temperatures may reach 49 degrees Celsius, comparable to Death Valley. This extreme heat is causing widespread power outages lasting up to 16 hours daily and impacting workers and farmers who experience nausea, dizziness, and illness from heatstroke. Delhi has already seen temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius three times in April, 5 degrees above the seasonal average.
