FULL TITLE: Deadly 'super heatwaves' of 55°C will sweep across the US east coast, China, India, South America and Europe if global warming goes unchecked.
This summer, a heatwave nicknamed 'Lucifer' has swept across Europe, with temperatures reaching 44°C (111°F).
But a new study suggests that things could get much worse, with a bout of 'super-heatwaves' reaching 55°C (121°F) predicted to hit several areas if global temperatures rise by just 4°C (39°F).
Experts say that these heatwaves will be particularly humid, and could leave more people vulnerable to health risks, including sun stroke and hypothermia.
As a result, if global warming trends continue, many more people are expected to suffer sun strokes, especially in densely populated areas of India, China and the US.
Lead author Dr Giovanni Forzieri said: 'Climate change is one of the biggest global threats to human health of the 21st century.
'Its peril to society will be increasingly connected to weather-driven hazards.
To preserve the health and wellbeing of future generations of people in Europe, the researchers explain the need to address climate change by fulfilling the aims of the Paris Agreement to reduce climate change and increase resilience.

The 1980 heatwave was worse.
According to my parents and grandparents, the heatwaves of the 1930s and 1950s were even worse.

Women and minorities will be hit the hardest.
