The World Meteorological Organization said that in future, people could expect heatwaves to occur more often and be more intense because of human-induced climate change.
She said extreme heat was “widely called the silent killer”, with the death toll often under-reflected in official statistics, compared to, for example, a tropical cyclone.
Western Europe is sweltering under the influence of a strong high pressure system, Nullis told a press briefing in Geneva.
A major factor in the heatwave is the exceptional sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean.
She said the urban heat island effect was exaggerating the situation in cities, with a lack of greenery to absorb the heat and concrete surfaces reflecting it.
“As a result of human-induced climate change, extreme heat is becoming more frequent, more intense. It’s something we have to learn to live with,“ Nullis said.
She added: “What can we expect in the future? More of the same, even worse.”
