We show that anthropogenic climate change may turn extreme heatwaves from a rarity of 1 in 10,000 years into events occurring every 4–75 years, depending on future scenarios. This shift underscores the urgency of implementing adaptive strategies as extreme climate events manifest sooner and more intensely than expected. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101024389/EU/medITerranean HydroclimAte variability over the Common erA/ITHACA This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 101024389-ITHACA info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RYC2021-034330-I info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 8.4 2024 METEOROLOGY & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES 6 / 111 = 0.054 2024 Q1 T1 2.907 2024 Atmospheric Science 2024 Q1 Global and Planetary Change 2024 Q1 Environmental Chemistry 2024 Q1 8.7 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Benito, Gerardo Serrano-Notivoli, Roberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7663-1202 González-Rouco, Fidel Esper, Jan Büntgen, Ulf 3006 430 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
