Indoor overheating: A review of vulnerabilities, causes, and strategies to prevent adverse human health outcomes during extreme heat events. [PDF]

Temperature (Austin)
The likelihood of exposure to overheated indoor environments is increasing as climate change is exacerbating the frequency and severity of hot weather and extreme heat events (EHE). Consequently, vulnerable populations will face serious health risks from

Combined effects of air pollution and extreme heat events among ESKD patients within the Northeastern United States. [PDF]

Sci Total Environ, 2022
BACKGROUND Increasing number of studies have linked air pollution exposure with renal function decline and disease. However, there is a lack of data on its impact among end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients and its potential modifying effect from ...

Identification and Characteristics of Historical Extreme High-Temperature Events over the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor

Atmosphere, 2023
Recently, there has been an increase in the occurrence of extreme high-temperature events across the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Regional spatiotemporal identification and evaluation of extreme high temperatures are essential for accurate ...

Kidney injury risk during prolonged exposure to current and projected wet bulb temperatures occurring during extreme heat events in healthy young men.

J Appl Physiol (1985), 2022
Wet bulb temperatures (Twet) during extreme heat events are commonly 31°C. Recent predictions indicate that Twet will approach or exceed 34°C. Epidemiological data indicate that exposure to extreme heat events increases kidney injury risk.

Elevated Risk of Compound Extreme Precipitation Preceded by Extreme Heat Events in the Upper Midwestern United States

Atmosphere, 2023
Compound extreme events can potentially cause deadlier socio-economic consequences. Although several studies focused on individual extreme climate events, the occurrence of compound extreme events is still not well studied in the upper Midwestern United ...

The synergistic effect of the summer NAO and northwest pacific SST on extreme heat events in the central–eastern China

Climate Dynamics, 2023
Extreme heat events happen frequently in East Asia, and may cause great damage to the ecosystem and society. The synergistic effect of the summer positive North Atlantic Oscillation (pNAO) and positive northwest Pacific (pNWP) sea surface temperature ...

Investigating Spatial Variations of Compound Heat–Precipitation Events in Guangdong, China through a Convection-Permitting Model

Remote Sensing, 2023
Compound heat–precipitation events exert significant impacts on severe weather occurrences. Intense vertical air movement, driving vigorous convection, primarily contributes to the formation of extreme precipitation.

Influence and prediction value of Arctic sea ice for spring Eurasian extreme heat events

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
In spring, Eurasia has experienced significant warming, accompanied by frequent extreme heat events. Whether the Arctic sea ice has contributed to the variation of spring Eurasian extreme heat events is still unclear. Here, through conducting statistical

Long-Term Spatial Modelling for Characteristics of Extreme Heat Events

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2021
AbstractThere is increasing evidence that global warming manifests itself in more frequent warm days and that heat waves will become more frequent. Presently, a formal definition of a heat wave is not agreed upon in the literature. To avoid this debate, we consider extreme heat events, which, at a given location, are well-defined as a run of ...

Moving from adaptation capacities to implementing adaptation to extreme heat events in urban areas of the European Union: Introducing the U-ADAPT! research approach.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2022
Extreme Heat Events (EHE) are a major concern for many urban areas worldwide and are considered as one of the deadliest natural hazards globally. Climate change and socioeconomic trends (exposure and susceptibility) are expected to exacerbate the risk of
