The Guardian publishes Katauskas cartoon on northern hemisphere heatwaves
Published on 28 July 2026, the piece titled “What do the heatwaves in Europe and North America tell us about our future?” carries the tagline “The signs are there”
The Guardian Opinion section published a cartoon by Fiona Katauskas on 28 July 2026, focusing on the implications of extreme heat across the northern hemisphere. The piece, titled “What do the heatwaves in Europe and North America tell us about our future?”, is part of an ongoing series of visual commentaries by the artist.
The publication, which appeared in the Opinion section, utilises the tagline “The signs are there” to frame its visual narrative. The cartoon addresses the heatwaves currently affecting Europe and North America, positioning these events as indicators of broader climate trends.
Katauskas’ work in this instance serves as an opinion-based reflection rather than a factual report on meteorological data. The Guardian’s presentation of the piece aligns with its practice of using the Opinion section for subjective interpretations and artistic commentary on current affairs.
The specific visual details of the cartoon are not detailed in the source material, but the thematic focus remains on the connection between current extreme weather events in major northern hemisphere regions and their potential future significance.
This publication follows the artist’s established pattern of contributing cartoons to The Guardian, where visual media is employed to explore complex societal and environmental issues. The piece is available for further viewing through the Guardian’s online platform.
