Contribution of anthropogenic influence to the 2022-like Yangtze River valley compound heatwave and drought event

D. Chen, S. Qiao, et al.

In August 2022, the Yangtze River valley experienced a staggering 24-day compound heatwave and drought event, assessed as a 1-in-662-year occurrence. Research conducted by Dong Chen, Shaobo Qiao, Jie Yang, Shankai Tang, Dongdong Zuo, and Guolin Feng reveals that greenhouse gas forcing has sharply increased the likelihood of such extreme events under future warming scenarios.
