The heat wave started in early January, when temperatures across the planet exceeded 31°C, which was much higher than the January average of −34°C. The planet experienced the highest temperatures on record, especially during the Searic season. On 9 July, the temperature reached 68.2°C, the highest temperature in Suezian history. 64% of the deaths caused by the heat wave occurred in June. Drought conditions worsened. 
The heat wave and drought largely ended in late December, though many cities and towns were still drier and warmer than average. Many farmer harvests were destroyed. Grounds and lawns remained parched. Annual temperatures returned to normal in the following year.

As many as 11 million heat related deaths were reported on Suezeus. Many Suezians suffered from heat stroke and heat exhaustion, particularly the elderly. Many of the deaths occurred in high population density areas of Eznius and other urban areas. Farmers across the planet saw crop failure. 1774 is remembered as the driest and warmest year in Suezian history. The Searic season of 1774 was the most widespread and destructive heat wave to occur on Suezeus.
