around a world. spanish firefighters are battling to control the wildfire and the canal of the island of la palmer, the blaze as already forced thousands of people from their homes and scorched nearly 5000 hacked as of land. it comes, i'm a major huge wave with temperatures succeed in 40 degrees celsius in pads of sal than you sorry, t is in japan, have issued a heat stroke warnings for tokyo and nearby regions. i'm at extreme heat temperatures near record highs. it's in 40 degree so shows in told you most of the world is counting the face and scorching heat waves scientists, a climate change is making them more severe. matthew, a couple g ac methodologist joining us from washington. hello matthew. we're seeing extremely high temperatures around the world. how is climate change connected to this? well, i want you to imagine, for example, it, i'm not

a really good sports player. i'm not super tall, but let's say i wanna play game of basketball. all right. was it a great while i might score basket, but suddenly if the floor comes up a little bit in the basket, stay the same height as the floor comes up. the odds of me getting a basket go up enough enough. same thing with the weather. you know, we get a lot of randomness or natural variability. there are ups and downs in the weather . it's very natural. but suddenly, if we start kind of skewing things up, if the background of earth comes up a little bit temperature wise, then we're more likely to is the heat extremes. so yes, this weather would be hot otherwise, but suddenly we're tilting the scale is a little bit and we're pushing ordinary events into a record territory. and that's why climate change and increasing both of frequency and the intensity of high end events like this. oh, i like the way you put it. it's a very interesting the very visual way of understanding what's happening. also normally wildfire as follow such extreme hot temperatures. is that something to expect? so i think so, and what are the issues we've seen so far back in may,
9:06 pm
for example, we had a near record of feet, dom or a ridge of high pressure that broke, hooked rice engineer across much of canada and that costs a record fire season up there essentially it desiccated right out the landscape, making fuels right to burn. then thunder storms came through early june, sparking lightning, which caused the wildfires and now we're getting smoke for the end of the lower 48 here in the united states. so yes, a heat jones can influence wildfires make more stream by her behavior n week more for more wild buyers. one thing with this heat to them too is that it's magnitude is poor for only by how long lived it will be. the longevity of this will be extremely impressive. phoenix, for example, is seen 15 days so far at or above $43.00 degrees celsius. they're likely to see a records freak beating out the 18 days in row back in 1974 june of that year that saw that street. and we're seeing crazy high temperatures to, for example, death valley like we saw is going to be about $54.00 degrees. so it's a very high end heat event that will last quite a while. and unfortunately the end isn't happening any time soon. i mean, you mentioned the heat stone for those watching that mean don't understand what is
9:07 pm
it and what's behind it. i want you to fix it as magic force deal in the atmosphere, a bubble of hot dry sinking air. what that does, because it's a forklift or to push this air away. so essentially makes the jet stream the storm track go up an over that high pressure carrying any inclement weather with it, caring way, any storm systems. so we don't get any storms. we got no rain but heat the heat, don't we just get that hot sinking air which squashes cloud cover, allowing sunshine to pour down unimpeded. that keeps the ground markedly. any other thing to dry air is able to heat up more faster than moist air. now the desert southwest, it is a dry heat, that's why temperatures are over cheating over parts of texas, the deep south, the southeast. we're not seeing nearly as many temperature records, but those temperatures are elevated and they're combined with very high end moisture because the human to see is feels like temperature as well above where they should be and in some places. flirting with 50 celsius my to couple g. thank you very much for your insights. thank you. are now the
