Abstract Although prolonged heat periods have become a recurring feature of European climate, little knowledge is available on dominant spatial patterns heatwaves and their influence moisture-related processes. Increased will help to improve heatwave drought prediction mitigation. This study uses hierarchical agglomerative clustering derive nine dominating from 50-member regional climate model ...

Abstract With global rise in frequency and intensity of natural disaster events, the adverse effects climate change are becoming increasingly evident. A recent example is extreme heatwave experienced by western North America which has caused a substantial loss life damage to infrastructure. Research suggests that heatwaves amplified urban areas due contribution Urban Heat Island effect (UHI) la...

Abstract Understanding future variations and trends of heatwave events has critical implications for the ecosystem human health. However, diverse metrics affect comparable assessment evolution at regional scales. The inadequate consideration enhanced warming trend local antecedent heat conditions different climate zones undermines comprehensive understanding changes. Here, we systematically ass...

High-density living and heatwaves are increasing, at the same time as population is ageing. The aim of this literature review was to examine intersection between older and/or vulnerable people, who live in high-density/high-rise situations, their health during heatwaves. Using electronic databases, examined. Articles were included if they were: (1) published English, (2) examined relationship b...

South Asia, with more than one-fifth of the world’s population, is highly vulnerable to heatwaves and associated health consequences. The population experiences considerably higher residential vulnerability due limited infrastructural capacities, economic resources, environmental quality deficiencies. However, a number studies are available from region account for effects heatwaves. Therefore, ...
