Een hittegolf is een serie van minstens vijf zomerse dagen, waarvan er zeker drie tropisch zijn. [3]
In Nederland is officieel sprake van een hittegolf als de maximumtemperatuur bij het KNMI in De Bilt gedurende tenminste vijf dagen elke dag 25 graden of hoger is (zomerse dagen). Bovendien moet het in die vijf dagen op zeker drie dagen minstens 30 graden zijn (tropische dagen).
