Définition

  • Heat waves, also referred to as extreme heat events (EHEs), are defined as weather that exceeds the normal summertime temperature and/or humidity for that specific time of the season. Accordingly, there is no absolute temperature level that serves as a benchmark for labeling an EHE. In addition, the specific temperature that defines an EHE may change over the summer season.
