Heat wave isn't +30°C. This is what climate change deniers want people to think.
A heat wave is when the temperature are higher on a certain amount of time. According to the IPCC, it's "a period of abnormally hot weather, often defined with reference to a relative temperature threshold, lasting from two days to months", and according to the Heat Wave Duration, and to the World Meteorological Organization, it's "five or more consecutive days during which the daily maximum temperature surpasses the average maximum temperature by 5 °C (9 °F) or more".
If it makes feel any better, in Rome yesterday and for a few more days it's going to be +30C indeed.
