Summer is getting longer, hotter — and arriving faster, study says
A study by the University of British Columbia found that summers are becoming hotter, longer, and arriving faster, with the average summer lengthening by six days per decade since 1990. Cities like Sydney and Toronto have seen significant increases in summer days, and seasonal transitions are becoming more abrupt, disrupting ecosystems and human activities.
