Spatiotemporal characterization of heatwave exposure across historically vulnerable communities

Scientific Reports
Heatwaves pose a serious threat and are projected to amplify with changing climate and social demographics. A comprehensive understanding of heatwave exposure to the communities is imperative for the development of effective strategies and mitigation ...

From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.

ERA5 Can Overstate Changes in the Frequency of Extreme Heat: A New Zealand Case Study

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
ERA5 reproduces broad patterns of summer warming across New Zealand but underestimates temperature variability and warm‐tail extremes, biasing estimates of extreme heat risk. ABSTRACT Summertime temperature extremes exert profound impacts on human health, ecosystems, and infrastructure, yet their characteristics and drivers remain poorly quantified in ...

Soil Moisture Feedback Amplified the Earlier Onset of the Record‐Breaking Three‐Day Consecutive Heatwave in 2023 in North China

Earth's Future
A record‐breaking heatwave swept North China in the summer of 2023, with a regional average of daily maximum temperature exceeding 35°C on June 23, which was the hottest day since 1959. We use the dynamical adjustment approach to assess the contributions

Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Human Thermal Comfort and Relationships With Large‐Scale Climate Indices Along Ghana's Coastal‐Urban Corridor From 1980 to 2020

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

A stitch in time: district scale heatwave hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment in India

Environmental Research Communications
India experiences frequent and intense heatwaves due to climate change, threatening public health, infrastructure and livelihoods. Effective long-term adaptation to heatwave impacts requires a comprehensive assessment and characterization of heatwave ...

The outstanding European and Mediterranean heatwave activity during summer 2022

The European summer of 2022 was exceptionally warm in the historical record (since mid-19th century). We show that it was a record-breaking summer at European scales since at least 1500 due to three large-scale atmospheric heatwaves, all concurring with ...

Compound Meteorological and Hydrological Hot‐Dry and Hot‐Wet Extremes Over Global Land Areas: Spatiotemporal Changes, Attribution, and Drivers

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.
