This tweet's got a lot of attention so I'd like to highlight that this is not a one-off event. In #RegEnvChange, @subimal_ghosh et al. use CMPI5 data "heat waves are projected to be more intense, have longer durations and occur at a higher frequency and earlier in the year" (1/2)

"Large regions of southern India, East and West coasts, which are presently unaffected by severe heat waves, are projected to be severely affected after 2070...Severe heat waves are expected to appear early in the future." tinyurl.com/4z2he8dh (2/2)

And finally, we examined the global evidence (~300 articles): "63% of the heat-adaptation articles feature individuals or communities autonomously adapting, highlighting how responses to date have largely consisted of coping strategies". #adaptationgap
