MIT Study Links Sticky Summer Heat and Violent Storms to Persistent Atmospheric Inversions
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.
- The pattern is becoming more common in parts of the United States as the climate warms.
