当一个地点记录了至少连续三天的最高温度达到或超过热浪温度阈值时,就会遇到英国热浪。并非所有的热浪都是一样的,人们认识到,热浪的传播需要超越它是或不是热浪的二元陈述。主要的夏季热浪年,如1976年,1995年,2006年和2018年,可以有累计热浪日超过20天,但这些并不常见,计数可能不都是相邻的日子;例如,2018年的热浪在6月下旬和7月下旬有两个单独的法术。热浪定义旨在提供一个有用的工具,用于向政府、公共和私营部门传达温暖期、炎热期和热浪的预测。天气(00431656)的版权是威利-布莱克威尔的财产,其内容不得复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或未经版权保持器的明确书面许可发布到一个列表服务器。但是,用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这篇摘要可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参考材料的原始出版版本以获取完整摘要。版权适用于所有摘要。
A UK heatwave is met when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days with maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding a heatwave temperature threshold. Not all heatwaves are alike, and it is recognised that the communication of heatwaves needs to extend beyond a binary statement that it is or is not a heatwave. Major summer heatwave years, such as 1976, 1995, 2006 and 2018, can have cumulative heatwave days exceeding 20 days, but these are not common, and counts may not all be adjacent days; for example, the heatwave of 2018 had two separate spells in late June and late July. The heatwave definition is intended to provide a useful tool for communicating to the government, public and private sectors the forecasts of warm spells, hot spells and heatwaves.[Extracted from the article]Copyright of Weather (00431656) is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
