Figure 2

Temporal evolution of heatwave properties, between 1979 and 2022: (a) number of heatwaves, (b) mean duration of heatwaves (days), (c) mean intensity of heatwaves (°C) and (d) ICI (°C·days). Blue curves represent MHW, being area-averaged over the ocean pixels, while green curves denote AHW, area-averaged over the land pixels. This analysis considers the full region of study. The dashed lines indicate significant linear trends detected by the Wald Test with a t-distribution, considering a 0.05 significance level. Slope (m) values indicate trends over time, whose units vary as follows: (a) events/year, (b) days/year (c) °C/year, (d) °C·days/year.
