The majority of heat related deaths in European cities this summer were caused by climate change. These figures should terrify us. This shows us that heat plans not enough – we need strong EU climate targets to cut the emissions causing this dangerous heat. www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

Exceptional heat in AUSTRALIA In New South Wales max. temperatures yesterday >35C and today tropical nights in some areas. In fact, the minimum of 20.4C at Mount Seaview is the highest ever recorded in October. Next days heat wave in Western Australia with up to 44C/45C

INSANE HEAT IN CHINA Unstoppable hazardous heat continue with temperatures today up to 38.5C and 25 stations breaking October heat records (6 Tmaxes+19 High Tmins). Already 3000+ records have fallen in East Asia these 10 days and MANY more are expected next week.

🔥🌍 Climate change made 2025’s wildfires in Turkey, Greece & Cyprus 22% more intense, driven by soaring temps, drought & fierce winds. 1M+ hectares burned, 20 lives lost. Scientists warn: hotter, drier conditions are the new normal. 🔗 apnews.com/article/clim... #climatechange #wildfires #temperature

🔥🌡 One of the most-read papers in Temperature dives into the science of hot flashes—how hormonal shifts hijack brain circuits to trigger heat loss. From KNDy neurons to night sweats, it’s a must-read on menopausal thermoregulation. 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #menopause #hotflashes

It’s well known that negative health impacts can occur from both hot and cold exposure. One that is lesser known is the impact it can have on mental health 🧠. A recent study in Nature examined the impacts of temperature on older adults in Japan. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are children really at greater risk of dehydration in the heat compared to adults? 🥵 A recent BMJ study was able to show children aged 10–16 years are at a similar risk of hyperthermia and dehydration as adults during exercise up to 40°C. bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/1...

🧠☀️ Just published in Temperature; students who exercised mid-morning, then sat in hot classrooms, showed worse attention, slower processing & higher core temps by noon. Early AM workouts + AC preserved performance. Time of day & thermal environment matter. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🧠💧 Climate matters. In tropical heat, students showed reduced focus & higher fatigue during late-morning classes, especially after exercise. AC helped preserve cognitive performance. 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #heatstress #cognition #TemperatureJournal
