Climate models are missing the first warning signs of deadly Middle East heat waves, study finds
Key Points
While the world's most advanced climate models successfully reproduce heat waves once they are underway, they consistently miss key atmospheric processes that trigger these events, potentially limiting the ability to anticipate extreme heat several days in advance.
