Summer 2024 was officially the Northern Hemisphere’s hottest on record.

The global average temperature was 2.74 degrees Fahrenheit ( 1.52 degrees Celsius) above the 20th-century average.

How long these heat domes stick around has a lot to do with the jet stream.

Shuang-Ye Wu : Many atmospheric changes driven by human-caused global warming have significant impacts on people’s health, property and ecosystems around the world.
