This page documents notable heat waves worldwide in 2023.
Asia
April
Starting in April 2023, a record-breaking heat wave in Asia has affected multiple countries, including India, China, Laos and Thailand.[1][2]
July
On July 16, 2023, China recorded a record-breaking temperature of 52.2 °C (126.0 °F).[3]
On July 16, 2023, China recorded a record-breaking temperature of 52.2°C.[4]
Europe
April
A three day heatwave originating in North Africa took place from April 26 to 28 impacting the Western Mediterranean region. The heat reached over 40°C in parts of Morocco and Algeria and broke the temperature record for Europe in April when the temperature at Córdoba Airport reached 38.8 °C (101.8 °F).[5][6] On April 26, a Sentinel-2 image showed that the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon went completely dry for the first time.[7] A rapid attribution study by World Weather Attribution found that the heatwave would probably have been more than 2°C cooler without climate change and that climate change made the heat wave 100 times more likely to occur.[8]
July
A major extended heatwave affecting most of Europe through mid-July became named "Cerberus" by the Italian Meteorological Society[9] and brought record temperatures into the Arctic.[10]
Israel
June
A heat wave in early June in Israel, with temperatures ranging between 35°C (95°F) in Jerusalem and 45°C (113°F) in the Jordan Valley, along with high winds, cause hundreds of wildfires, forcing roads to be closed and some buildings to be evacuated as well as rolling electricity outages; firefighters acted quickly to control the brushfires, limiting property damage.[11]
North America
May

An intense heat wave impacted Puerto Rico and the Caribbean in early June, bringing record highs to San Juan and causing the heat index to reach 125 °F (52 °C) in one town. [12]
In Mexico, a heat wave swept northern states, such as Sonora where temperatures were recorded as high as 49°C (120°F).[13] Over 100 people died from heat stroke or dehydration.[14]
