The exact temperature at which heat is considered "extreme" depends on where you are in the world.
In the US, for example, it is a period of at least two to three days where the temperature is above 32C (90F).
In the UK, the exact heatwave threshold depends on the county you're in, but it's usually between 25C and 28C. Extreme heat is a prolonged period of at least three days of this temperature or higher.
Because of human-induced climate change, heatwaves are becoming more severe and more likely to happen.
