The intensity, frequency, and duration of heatwaves are increasing worldwide. Still, systematically underreported underresearched across the African continent. This study examines Mozambique, a country highly vulnerable to variety climate risks yet where have received little no attention. A spatio-temporal analysis was conducted for five heatwave characteristics (heatwave number, duration, ampl...

Why is polyandry such a common mating behaviour when it exposes females to range of significant fitness costs? Here, we investigated whether protects against reduced male fertility caused by thermal stress from heatwave conditions. Sperm production and function are vulnerable heat, conditions forecast increase as our climate warms, so examined these effects on female reproduction in the flour b...

Introduction: Heatwave can increase the risk for heat-related illnesses and mortality. Many studies showed certain population are vulnerable to heatwave such as elderly, children low-income households. However, findings were inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review provides a comprehensive on impact vulnerability factors mortality morbidity impacts. Methodology: Five electronic databases...

Abstract As global warming gets worse, the extreme heat exposure time is expected to increase. Considering that heatwave damages increased by accumulation of stress, it important understand onset and number days (HWDs). Here, we show end East Asian summer monsoon activity (i.e., Changma retreat date, CRD) could be an indicator in determining heatwave, barotropic structure induced circumglobal P...

While extreme heat events received wider attention in recent years, understanding heatwave vulnerability is still a challenging task that requires clear of range location-dependent climatic, socio-economic, physiological, and environmental parameters. This study investigates the spatial distribution Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) — commercial capital Bangladesh. A index (HVI) was developed, ...

The extreme heat event that hit the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, southern British Columbia) at end of June 2021 was 3 °C greater than previous Seattle record 39 °C; larger extremes 49 were observed further inland 6 above record. There hundreds deaths over region and loss marine life forests. At large scale prior to event, polar vortex split Arctic. A instability center formed Bering S...
