Map of Heatwaves – Extreme Heat & Temperature Monitoring
This map of heatwaves provides an overview of extreme heat conditions, temperature anomalies and global heat monitoring systems.
Heatwaves are prolonged periods of unusually high temperatures that can affect health, infrastructure, agriculture, energy systems and environmental conditions.
Heatwave maps monitor regions experiencing extreme temperatures, dangerous heat conditions and elevated weather risk levels.

🔥 Open Heatwave MapWhat Is a Heatwave?
A heatwave is an extended period of unusually hot weather that exceeds typical temperatures for a region and season.
- Extreme temperatures — prolonged high heat conditions
- Weather pattern influence — often linked to high-pressure systems
- Health risks — dangerous heat stress and dehydration
- Environmental impacts — increased drought and wildfire risk
Major Heatwave Regions
- Australia — frequent summer heat extremes
- Southern Europe — increasing Mediterranean heatwaves
- North America — severe summer heat outbreaks
- Middle East — some of the world’s hottest temperatures
- South Asia — extreme pre-monsoon heat events
- Africa — widespread high-temperature regions
What Causes Heatwaves?
- High-pressure systems — trap hot air over regions
- Dry atmospheric conditions — reduce cooling from rainfall
- Climate variability — influences temperature extremes
- Urban heat effects — cities retain and amplify heat
- Changing weather patterns — affect heatwave duration and intensity
Heatwaves and Environmental Systems
- Wildfire risk — increases during extreme heat
- Drought conditions — intensified by prolonged heat
- Energy demand — increased cooling and electricity use
- Agricultural impacts — stress on crops and livestock
- Water resource pressure — greater evaporation and demand
Heat Monitoring and Forecasting
- Satellite temperature monitoring — tracks surface heat conditions
- Weather forecasting systems — predict heatwave development
- Heat alert networks — issue public safety warnings
- Climate modelling — studies long-term heat trends
- Urban temperature analysis — monitors city heat patterns
