Human heat stress depends jointly on atmospheric temperature and humidity. Wetter soils
reduce temperature but also raise humidity, making the collective impact on heat stress …

The frequency and intensity of extreme thermal stress conditions during summer are
expected to increase due to climate change. This study examines sixteen models from the …

Humid‐heat extremes threaten human health and are increasing in frequency with global
warming, so elucidating factors affecting their rate of change is critical. We investigate the …

Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon strongly modulates regional temperature and
humidity. While extreme dry heat peaks in the pre‐monsoon season, recent literature …

Extreme humid heat is a major climate hazard for the coastal Arabian Peninsula. However,
many of its characteristics, including diurnal and spatial variations, remain incompletely …

Sequential climate hazards, such as “warm and wet” compound extremes, have direct
societal implications for highly urbanized regions and agricultural production. While typically …

Individually, extreme humid heat and extreme precipitation events can trigger widespread
socioeconomic impacts which disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. These …

Because of the climatological prevalence of hot, humid conditions, moist heat extremes are
a significant challenge to the health and wellbeing of the people in India. While research has …

Extreme wet-bulb temperatures (T w) are often used as indicators of heat stress. However,
humid heat extremes are fundamentally compound events, and a given T w can be …

Heatwaves are often driven by subtropical persistent highs and quasi-stationary Rossby
waves along with regional factors such as soil moisture. Both temperature and humidity …
