The physical understanding and timely prediction of extreme weather events are of
enormous importance to society due to their associated impacts. In this article, we highlight …

Persistent heat extremes can have severe impacts on ecosystems and societies, including
excess mortality, wildfires, and harvest failures. Here we identify Europe as a heatwave …

Abstract The 2022 Compound Drought and Heatwave (CDHW) caused widespread crop
damage, water shortages, and wildfires across Europe. Our study analyzed this event's …

The summer of 2018 was an extraordinary season in climatological terms for northern and
central Europe, bringing simultaneous, widespread, and concurrent heat and drought …

Weather regime forecasts are a prominent use case of sub‐seasonal prediction in the
midlatitudes. A systematic evaluation and understanding of year‐round sub‐seasonal …

Large-eddy simulation (LES) models, such as the PALM modeling system in this study, are
actively used for urban micro-climate modeling. We consider urban LES in a broader context …

Abstract In June 2021, Western North America experienced an intense heat wave with
unprecedented temperatures and far‐reaching socio‐economic consequences. Anomalous …

Heatwaves are weather events characterized by extreme near‐surface temperature
anomalies that persist for several days, and therefore lead to catastrophic impacts on natural …

Worsening temperature extremes are among the most severe impacts of human-induced
climate change. These extremes are often defined as rare events that exceed a specific …

Forest dieback in Europe has recently intensified and has become more extensive. This
dieback is strongly influenced by meteorological variations of temperature, T 2 m, and …
