Valencia could face near-permanent summers by century's end, UPV study warns

Elderly people, children, and vulnerable populations face elevated risk of heat-related illness and mortality from prolonged thermal stress and humidity amplification.

A team of researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València has issued a sobering cartography of the city's thermal future: without decisive action on emissions, Valencia may cease to have seasons in any meaningful sense, enduring what amounts to a permanent summer by 2100. The study, rooted in decades of observed data and three projected climate scenarios, reminds us that heat is not merely a matter of discomfort but of survival — and that the most vulnerable among us will bear the heaviest burden of a crisis they did little to create.
