Short summary
Hemispheric heatwaves have fundamental implications for ecosystems and societies. They are studied together with large-scale atmospheric dynamics, through the lens of poleward heat transports by planetary-scale waves. Extremely weak transports of heat towards the North Pole are found to be associated with hemispheric heatwaves in the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes. Therefore, we conclude that heat transports are a possible indicator and a precursor of concurrent hemispheric heatwaves.
