The temperature is 115 plus degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius), and people are soaked with sweat. It's the hottest it's ever been since June 26, 1889. You could fry an egg on the sidewalk. Everyone has their air conditioner cranked up, and those not fortunate enough to own one are desperately looking to cool down. Just staying outside for a prolonged period of time can be dangerous. No one wants to move. Everyone is understandably cranky because of the hot weather, but according to the weatherman, there's no sign of things cooling down. It's the Heat Wave, a common device employed by writers to increase irritability and stress among characters Locked in a Room and Getting Hot in Here, in a Hostage Situation, in a Die Hard Plot, or in a climactic Courtroom Battle. In TV episodes and movies in which the entire plot takes place in one day, the Heat Wave will be dubbed in-universe as The Hottest Day of the Year. Alternatively, or additionally, the Heat Wave may serve as a symbolic metaphor for the tension or anger that builds up among the characters throughout the story. Of course, the heat can also serve as a good excuse for having characters walk around in skimpy or soaked-to-the-skin clothing. The two usually come together in Summer Romance. See also Big Blackout. Like Snowed-In and Rain, Rain, Go Away, an aversion of It's Always Spring. Contrast Cold Snap, the other temperature extreme. Often a sign that A Storm Is Coming, in fiction as in real life. Not to be confused with It Was a Dark and Stormy Night. Unless the night was sultry. See also Fat, Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit. A.k.a. Long Hot Summer (media shorthand for the urban riots of the '60s-70s) or The Dog Days Of Summer. |

A native informs the military that the titular creature in Predator only appears during the hottest years. Predator 2 has another one stalk the streets of Los Angeles during a heat wave. Possibly justified in that yautja usually wear a bodysuit made of thermal netting, meaning they might be ectothermic and would feel more comfortable in hot environments. | |

Fluffy Gardens: Mrs. Toasty the Sheep deals with heatwaves on a regular basis since she lives in the hottest place in Fluffy Gardens, but one episode had a more extreme one than usual, which is when her already thick fleece inconveniently grew longer (of course, she decides to trim it shorter). In the first episode focused on her, she decided that the best way of dealing with summer's temperatures is by visiting her aunt in the frosty mountains. | |

A Certain Magical Index: The plot of one of the later New Testament novels has Academy City get hit with an extreme heat wave in the middle of winter, such that the city completely shuts down and everyone starts wearing only their swimsuits in an effort to cool off. On top of that, bizarre monsters known as "Elements" being appearing and attacking anyone they find. It turns out that the intense heat was created by one of Kamisato's girls using a satellite to literally microwave the city... and she was doing this because it weakened the Elements enough that they could be fought and resisted by the Esper population. Without the heat, they would have been unstoppable. The series also begins in one as it takes place in summer, the very first event in the series has a Lightning Esper launching an attack so powerful it knocks out the air conditioning for a city block, including the main character's. Such misfortune... |

The Simpsons When Homer gets Lisa a sax instead of an air conditioner. Twice. Occurred in another episode when the whole Springfield cranked up the air conditioners during the heatwave and one more electric output will cause a blackout. Unfortunately, it was Homer's fault for plugging in the dancing Santa Claus. And again in the episode when the family decides to get an above-ground pool, leading Lisa to become popular and Bart to live out a Rear Window spoof with a broken leg. |

A heatwave is mentioned at the start of Resident Evil: Apocalypse; behind the scenes, the film-makers decided to bring it up as an excuse to get the characters (especially Jill Valentine) in summer clothes, even during the night.

In season 9 of Hawaii Five-0, "Mimiki Ke Kai, Ahuwale Ka Papa Leho" saw the island and the task force dealing with one in different ways. McGarrett and Danny are searching for a fugitive who killed two police officers only to learn she got trapped in an elevator when the power went out earlier in the day. Grover takes advantage of the heat to par a game of golf to his caddie's irritation. Meanwhile, Tani and Junior first deal with a man suffering from heat stroke and wielding a shotgun then search for a man who stole her car for the air conditioning. | |

As in 1776 above, it was unbearably hot in Philadelphia near the end (May-July, 1776) of the Second Continental Congress, during which the American Declaration of Independence was drafted and voted on. It would also have been incredibly muggy: Philadelphia, being in the Delaware River valley, is very humid, and various features of geography give it very still air, as well. | |

A frequent device in The Dresden Files. Summer Knight makes the most use of the heat wave motif, feeding into Harry's irritability given his recent defeat and helping to highlight how things are going seriously wrong with the Summer fae. It tends to be inverted in later books, though: after Harry becomes the Winter Knight, most books are set during cold snaps. | |

Animaniacs (1993): In "The Kid in the Lid", two kids named Scooter and Mary have to stay inside their air-conditioned house and watch television because it's too hot for them to play outside. This is in contrast to the book being parodied, where its two kids have to stay inside due to it being too rainy. In his attempt to bathe the kids' pet woodchuck, Yakko, as the titular Kid in the Lid, manages to flood the streets with water from the kids' toilet, which the other kids swim in to beat the heat. | |

Used twice in Beka Cooper: Beka describes the weather as being very hot and stifling during the climax of Terrier, when the Guard finally discovers where the bodies of the latest batch of disappeared miners have gone, and thus proof of who's responsible. A riot breaks out in short order. Bloodhound opens during a heatwave, which signifies food shortage from a bad harvest as well as rising tension in the Lower City. Soon enough, a bread riot breaks out that results in every one of Beka's comrades being injured. |

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix starts with a heat wave, which is possibly supposed to symbolize Harry being irritable because he hasn't been able to get any information about Voldemort and the Dursleys are irritable because there's a drought and they're busy making sure their neighbors don't cheat on the "no water sprinklers" ban. Ironically, the more dangerous part occurs when temperatures DROP, because that signifies the entrance of dementors. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "The Midnight Sun" features a catastrophic heat wave caused by the Earth moving closer to the sun. It turns out in the Cruel Twist Ending that it was All Just a Dream, but reality isn't much better: the Earth is moving away from the sun, resulting in the Earth gradually freezing. | |

Banjo-Tooie: During his boss battle, Old King Coal will periodically increase the temperature of the surroundings, which makes the floor boil to harmful levels excpet for the higher spots, though the effect goes away shortly afterwards. However, if Banjo and Kazooie fail to defeat the boss in 150 seconds, the heat wave will be invoked for a permanent duration, which will not only render the place hot forever but also make the starring duo asphyxiate (the Oxygen Meter will gradually deplete), thus forcing them to hurry and defeat him before it's too late. | |

Batman: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is set during a heat (and crime) wave. The local anchors seem to think the former excuses the latter. By the end of the first volume, Bruce Wayne is back in the suit and it's pouring rain. One of the newscasters in the animated version refers to the oncoming storm (and, by symbolism, Batman's return) as coming down on Gotham like "the wrath of God." Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's The Long Halloween opens on the super-hot night of Johnny Viti's marriage. As the nephew of Carmine Falcone, this mob-marriage sees the very brief peace in Gotham before 1) Gordon, Batman, and Harvey Dent ally to take Falcone down, 2) the eventual war between the old school gangs and the new wave of costumed freaks, and 3) the beginning of the Halloween killer's serial murders. Has a call back in the sequel, Dark Victory, where The Remnant of the Falcone crime family gathers in the cemetery before a similar series of events. Catwoman, who'd predicted the previous hot night's reputation, says "It's hot. But, not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married." |

Pokémon: The Olympus Mon Groudon can cause a supernatural and apocalyptic heat wave just by being awake, which even affects the overworld in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. As Primal Groudon, it gains the even more devastating Desolate Land Ability — it lasts for as long as it's out, is so hot that Water-type moves completely fail to work (and yet Ice-type moves work just fine), and can't be overwritten by any weather condition that isn't brought forth by Primordial Sea or Delta Stream (though Air Lock and Cloud Nine can No-Sell all of Desolate Land's effects other than auto-failing weather-changing moves). In battle, Pokémon with the move Sunny Day or the ability Drought can cause harsh sunlight to shine down for up to five turns, causing various effects (such as strengthing Fire-type attacks, weakening Water-type attacks, and cutting out the charge time of the Grass-type moves Solar Beam and Solar Blade). There's also the move literally called Heat Wave, which is slightly stronger (though less accurate) than Flamethrower. Though the move mentions the user exhaling hot breath, a lot of Flying-type Pokémon are able to learn it through Move Tutors (suggesting they spread hot wind with their wings, which checks out with the Japanese name translating to "Hot Wind"). |

Bernard is stalking Fran's new neighbour and trying to make her his summer girlfriend. If Manny's temperature exceeds 88 degrees (31 °C) it will trigger "Dave's Syndrome" and, naturally, Bernard does everything he can to set Manny off: insisting he wear a winter jacket, a hot water bottle, and "Heat B Gone Booties", storing books in the oven. | |

In The Great Gatsby, the love triangle between Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom comes to a climax during what is described by all characters present as the hottest day of the year, the temperature obviously representing the high emotions running. This trope is then inverted in the next chapter, in which the now cool weather symbolizes the ending of Gatsby and Daisy's love affair, something he remains in complete denial of until the very end. | |

Jimmy Two-Shoes: Miseryville is usually a very sweltering place given its nature, but the episode "Heat Blanket Jimmy" sees temperatures become unbearable for even the demonic populace. While Jimmy, Beezy, and Heloise attempt to beat this with a trip to the beach, Lucius prances around Miseryville to torment his subjects with his tempting (but can't have) ice cream. | |

Has a call back in the sequel, Dark Victory, where The Remnant of the Falcone crime family gathers in the cemetery before a similar series of events. Catwoman, who'd predicted the previous hot night's reputation, says "It's hot. But, not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married." | |

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is set during a heat (and crime) wave. The local anchors seem to think the former excuses the latter. By the end of the first volume, Bruce Wayne is back in the suit and it's pouring rain. One of the newscasters in the animated version refers to the oncoming storm (and, by symbolism, Batman's return) as coming down on Gotham like "the wrath of God." | |

Inherit the Wind takes place during the Hottest Week of the Year. (Which the Scopes Trial, on which the plot is based, did too.) The characters frequently comment on how hot it is, and there's a small running gag of church-sponsored fans. Drummond doesn't get one. | |

The Eds solve their initial problem by stuffing themselves into Ed's freezer, but when Sarah kicks them out they find a new source of refreshment by bombing the neighborhood pool party... and wind up trapped in a pool with no trunks until night comes in and they start freezing. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: While Gerudo Desert has always been a hot landscape due to its geographical nature, in this game there has been an anomalous increase in the temperature which not only makes the desert even hotter while also making the sandstorms worsen, but also increased the high heat's area. A Gerudo who guards the ravine that leads to the desert warns Link that, only a few steps beyond her position, he will already suffer the intense heat. During night, the temperature shifts towards the opposite end. | |

Frasier: Seattle is in the middle of one during "Daphne Hates Sherry" which puts everyone in a bad mood. When Daphne gets into a fight with Martin and his girlfriend Sherry she storms out and ends up Niles' apartment. Niles lives in a historic building so there's no air conditioning, and the UST between him and Daphne starts rising as he points out that he only has one floor fan which they'll have to share. | |

The murder in Albert Camus's The Stranger takes place on an overwhelmingly hot and bright day; the heat wave assaulting all the senses of the murderer-protagonist. Heat is a recurring theme; it's also brutally hot on the day of Mme. Meursault's funeral. Meursault himself lampshades the trope before his trial when he muses that when it became hot again, he knew something was going to happen. |

At least a few episodes of Hill Street Blues (such as episodes 2-3 of season 3), deal with the problems caused by high summer temperatures in a northern city where people aren't used to the heat. The heat causes domestic violence to flare and stresses the tempers of criminals, ordinary citizens as well as the police officers (neither the police cars nor the station house is air-conditioned). | |

Meta example: In Throw Momma from the Train, the writer protagonist spends the entire movie trying to find a synonym for "It was a hot night" as an intro for his new thriller, only to be informed by Momma that the night was "sultry. It's too goddamn sultry in here!" He then attempts to strangle the poor lady. | |
