Heat Domes Are Hotter and Lingering Longer—Because of the Arctic

The recent rise in sweltering heat waves across the globe, particularly in the eastern U.S., has been linked to a rapidly warming Arctic. A new study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences highlights the impact of climate change on extreme weather patterns such as heat domes and heavy rainfall.

According to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, atmospheric patterns known as planetary waves are becoming more intense due to the warming Arctic. These planetary waves can lead to the formation of stagnant weather patterns, like the recent heat dome that caused record-breaking temperatures in cities like Minneapolis and New York City.

The study found that the frequency of planet wave “resonance events” has tripled over the last 70 years, coinciding with an increase in extreme summer weather events. This phenomenon is a direct result of the rapid warming of the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate four times faster than the global average.

While the exact mechanisms behind these planetary wave events are still under investigation, researchers believe that the warming Arctic is altering the atmosphere in ways that affect the jet stream and planetary waves. Other factors, such as tropical warming and strong El Niño events, also contribute to the intensification of extreme weather patterns.

Climate models have long predicted that these patterns would become more frequent with climate change, and the new study provides evidence that these predictions are already coming to fruition. As global temperatures continue to rise, extreme summer weather events are expected to become more common and more intense.

The Climate Shift Index, developed by Climate Central, estimates that the recent heat wave in the eastern U.S. was at least five times more likely to occur due to human-caused climate change. This serves as a stark reminder that climate change is exacerbating extreme weather events and impacting millions of people worldwide.

As scientists continue to study the effects of global warming on atmospheric circulation patterns, it is clear that the warming Arctic is playing a significant role in driving extreme weather events. It is essential that we take action to mitigate climate change and reduce the impact of these dangerous and oppressive heat waves on our planet.
