'Key Points

Heat waves are occurring more often than they used to in major cities 
across the United States. Their frequency has increased steadily, from 
an average of two heat waves per year during the 1960s to six per year 
during the 2010s and 2020s (Figure 1).

In recent years, the average heat wave in major U.S. urban areas has 
been about four days long. This is about a day longer than the average 
heat wave in the 1960s (Figure 1).

The average heat wave season across the 50 cities in this indicator is 
about 46 days longer now than it was in the 1960s (Figure 1). Timing can 
matter, as heat waves that occur earlier in the spring or later in the 
fall can catch people off-guard and increase exposure to the health 
risks associated with heat waves.

Heat waves have become more intense over time. During the 1960s, the 
average heat wave across the 50 cities in Figures 1 and 2 was 2.0°F 
above the local 85th percentile threshold. During the 2020s, the average 
heat wave has been 2.5°F above the local threshold (Figure 1).

Of the 50 metropolitan areas in this indicator, 46 experienced a 
statistically significant increase in heat wave frequency between the 
1960s and 2020s. Heat wave duration has increased significantly in 28 of 
these locations, the length of the heat wave season in 46, and intensity 
in 20 (Figure 2).

Longer-term records show that heat waves in the 1930s remain the most 
severe in recorded U.S. history (Figure 3). The spike in Figure 3 
reflects extreme, persistent heat waves in the Great Plains region 
during a period known as the “Dust Bowl.” Poor land use practices and 
many years of intense drought contributed to these heat waves by 
depleting soil moisture and reducing the moderating effects of 
evaporation.5'

And take a look at this part:

https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-heat-waves

Heat wave frequency: nearly tripled (all since the 1960s)

Duration: up by more than a third

Length of the heat wave season: nearly tripled.

Intensity: up more than 25%.
