Heatwave Characteristics and Trends Across Eight Japanese Cities

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves occur with high likelihood across Japan. Strong north–south contrasts exist in heatwave characteristics. Southern locations experience more frequent, longer, and more intense heatwaves. Since 1955 there has been an increase in heatwave frequency, duration, and cumulative heat, particularly for nocturnal heatwaves. ABSTRACT This study provides

How Well Do CMIP6 Models Simulate the Influence of the West African Westerly Jet on Sahel Precipitation?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Hydroclimatic Variables in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region Through the Aridity Index and Susceptibility to Desertification

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly
