Fig. 3: Heatwave composite time series from 7 days before the start of each heatwave (day -7) to 7 days after the start of each heatwave (day 7).

a Wet-bulb temperature (Twb), (b) temperature (2 m), and (c) specific humidity (2 m). The time series runs from 7 days before the start of each heatwave (day −7) to 7 days after the start of each heatwave (day 7). Day 0 is the heatwave start day. Solid lines and the y-axis on the left of each panel show composite daily mean values. Dashed lines and the y-axis on the right show composite anomalies from the local 1993–2022 daily mean climatology. The shading about the dashed lines shows 95% confidence intervals for the daily anomalies.
