MIT Study Links Sticky Summer Heat and Violent Storms to Persistent Atmospheric Inversions
MIT researchers say atmospheric inversions help determine how long humid heat waves last and how intense the storms can become when the inversion finally breaks, a pattern growing more common in parts of
Key Takeaways
- MIT researchers say inversions trap both heat and moisture near the surface, intensifying humid heat waves.
- The longer an inversion persists, the more energy can build before intense storms and heavy rain break it.
