I WONDER - How Often Do Heat Waves Occur?

The video discusses the increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves due to climate change, leading to record-breaking temperatures worldwide. It highlights unusual weather events like heat bursts and urban mirages, which are optical illusions caused by hot air refracting light. These phenomena underscore the power of nature and the need to understand and address climate change impacts.
