meteorological and human biometeorological variables at a high spatio-temporal resolution …

Rapid urbanization and global warming have triggered frequent heat waves that pose a
threat to human survival, with a marked increase in childhood morbidity. While previous …

Sports centers are core spaces for urban sports and fitness, and reasonable layout of large
public buildings can alleviate urban climate issues. But the adverse effects of planning and …

Trees are crucial elements for improving urban microclimates by providing cooling through
shading, evapotranspiration, and windbreaks. To maximise their cooling effects, it is …

As the frequency and intensity of heatwaves will continue to increase in the future, accurate
and high-resolution mapping and forecasting of human outdoor thermal comfort in urban …

Traditional heat health warning systems focus on severe and extreme heat events at the
district or regional level, often overlooking localized risk and protective factors such as …

Citizens in urban areas are affected by the urban heat island (UHI) effect, resulting in
increased thermal heat compared to rural areas. This threat is exacerbated by global climate …

With the intensification of climate change, outdoor thermal comfort has become an
increasingly crucial topic. Therefore, in this paper, a cost-effective and convenient method of …

Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of many extreme weather events,
including heatwaves, which results in increased thermal discomfort and mortality rates …
