How a blocking high builds a heatwave

A persistent blocking high, dry soils and clearer skies can combine into an intense, long-lived heatwave. Each tile below is a physical step you can check against data.

Read the full analysis
  1. 01Blocking highA persistent high-pressure system stalls and diverts weather systems around it.
  2. 02SubsidenceAir sinks inside the high, warming by compression and suppressing cloud.
  3. 03Clear skiesLess cloud means more solar radiation reaches the surface.
  4. 04Soil moisture deficitDry soils evaporate less, so more energy goes into heating the air.
  5. 05Extreme heatThe combination sustains temperatures far above the seasonal norm.
