The Impact of Heatwaves on Community Morbidity and Healthcare Usage: A Retrospective Observational Study Using Real-Time Syndromic Surveillance. [PDF]
, 2016 We investigated the impact of a moderate heatwave on a range of presenting morbidities in England. Asthma, difficulty breathing, cerebrovascular accident, and cardiovascular symptoms were analysed using general practitioner in hours (GPIH), out of hours (

Social Sensing of Heatwaves [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Heatwaves cause thousands of deaths every year, yet the social impacts of heat are poorly measured. Temperature alone is not sufficient to measure impacts and “heatwaves” are defined differently in different cities/countries. This study used data from the microblogging platform Twitter to detect different scales of response and varying attitudes to ...

EHF based Heatwave Identification and its Impact on Urban Heat Island Intensity: A Case Study of an Indian City [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesIn the Indian subcontinent, the heatwaves occur mainly during the summer months from April to June. This heatwave becomes more severe when accompanied by higher summer temperatures in the country.

Heat risk assessment for the Brussels capital region under different urban planning and greenhouse gas emission scenarios [PDF]
, 2019 Urban residents are exposed to higher levels of heat stress in comparison to the rural population. As this phenomenon could be enhanced by both global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and urban expansion, urban planners and policymakers should integrate ...

Identification and Analysis of Heatwave Events Considering Temporal Continuity and Spatial Dynamics
Remote Sensing, 2023 In the context of global warming, the general increase in temperature has led to an increase in heatwave events, as well as a dramatic intensification of economic losses and social risks.
