For the first time in history, scientists have given a name to a heat wave.

For the first time in history, Spanish scientists named a heat wave - Zoe. An extreme weather event was recorded in Seville on July 24-27. These days the temperature rose to 44.4 °C. In the future, in the names of new heat waves, female and male names will alternate in reverse alphabetical order. Hurricanes and cyclones have long been given human names, with the unofficial practice of naming winter storms dating back to 2012.
