Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

The co-occurrence of consecutive hot and humid days during a heat wave can strongly
affect human health. Here, we quantify humid heat wave hazard in the recent past and at …

A notable number of high-impact weather extremes have occurred in recent years, often
associated with persistent, strongly meandering atmospheric circulation patterns known as …

Risk assessment constitutes the first part within the risk management framework and
involves evaluating the importance of a risk, either quantitatively or qualitatively. Risk …

Under the influence of global warming, heatwaves are becoming a major threat in many
parts of the world, affecting human health and mortality, food security, forest fires …

Although over a hundred thermal indices can be used for assessing thermal health hazards,
many ignore the human heat budget, physiology and clothing. The Universal Thermal …

This study unravels the characteristics, mechanisms, and predictability of four consecutive
record‐breaking heatwaves hitting North China in June and July 2023. The first three …

Although prolonged heat periods have become a recurring feature of European climate, little
knowledge is available on dominant spatial patterns of heatwaves and their influence on …

The aim of the article was to provide a detailed analysis of pressure conditions, employing
the anomalies of geopotential heights, during the occurrence of heat waves in Central …

A large‐scale high air temperature event in China during July 2017 is examined using
observational reanalysis data. Based on this case study, summer extreme hot events (EHEs) …
