Hot extremes have become drier in the US Southwest

2020-11-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The impacts of summer heat extremes are mediated by the moisture content of the atmosphere. Increases in temperatures due to human-caused climate change are generally expected to increase specific humidity; however, it remains unclear how humidity extremes may change, especially in climatologically dry regions. Here, using in situ measurements and reanalyses, we show that specific humid...
