Try 2016
I remember that in CW (LIU) post, tie-dye shirt day had to be postponed due to extreme heat, first time of 95 degrees that I can remember since 2012. 32ieww (talk) 18:05, 11 June 2017 (UTC) And then we had another in December, but it wasn't bad. 60s and 70s were widespread. Even Mother Nature got fooled, as daffodils started blooming. Now, 6/9/2017 seems to have started another! 32ieww (talk) 18:06, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Listing of heat wave
Hi wikipedia, please help making the listing easy to read. I broke down the section by year so that it is easy to make edits. If you link it to the article and provide a short summary. Add some impact of the heat wave such as number of death, number of heat strokes, number of power outages, etc. I read in some cases, it was so hot, the metal of a bridge expanded where it required to be hosed with water. Cheers. Stay cool! SWP13 (talk) 02:56, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Celsius first?
Throughout the article, the temperatures keep alternating between Fahrenheit and Celsius. WP:METRIC generally recommends Metric except for US- and UK-centric articles. I can kind of understand the logic of "temperatures reported in what was (at the time) a Fahrenheit country can be reported in Fahrenheit", but because the list is geographically mixed, it's inconsistent. I'd prefer to have all of the temperatures in Celsius with the convert template and "|order=flip" for readings that were originally recorded in Fahrenheit. Is there a good reason to keep it how it is or to do it another way? I'm also posting on the MOS talk page.-Ich (talk) 11:54, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The consensus at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers/Archive 159 is that we should use Celsius first; Fahrenheit first is preferred only when the article is US-centric.-Ich (talk) 08:53, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

1922
List seems to be missing 1922 https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/1922-was-an-extreme-weather-year/ 83.100.188.53 (talk) 06:56, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

the current heat wave needs to be added
i do not have all of the datas myself and would not be the right person to do so but, someone should write about it soon. now it is going towards the UK and germany, which means that it is serious enough to get its own article. 84.212.100.141 (talk) 20:16, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Siberia june 2024
I think there is a huge heat wave in far northern Siberia, maybe 400 mile NNE of Norilsk but I can't find any info in a google search — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.245.17.105 (talk) 21:44, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

2016 Southeast Asian heat wave
The 2016 Southeast Asian heat wave set records in most Southeast Asian countries. Obviously it was a part of a 2016 Global heat wave. But singling out a few countries or regions while omitting the historic SE Asian heat wave is not sensical. Jamesdowallen (talk) 09:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
