Europe’s summers are getting hotter, longer and deadlier, but a new AI system could soon give scientists up to seven weeks’ notice before extreme heatwaves hit.

Their findings, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, could transform how Europe prepares for one of its most dangerous climate threats.
“[Machine learning] will become a fundamental part of how we study climate variability,” says study author Dr McAdam.
