Towards Improvement of Heatwave Warnings for Older Adults: The Case of Queensland Australia

Journal of Primary Care & Community Health
Background: Heatwave warnings provide crucial information about the nature of the event and the steps that can be taken to mitigate its impact. It is well known that heat events disproportionately impact the health of older adults.

Anthropogenic Contributions to the 2021 Pacific Northwest Heatwave [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Daily maximum temperatures during the 2021 heatwave in the Pacific Northwest United States and Canada shattered century old records. Multiple causal factors, including anthropogenic climate change, contributed to these high temperatures, challenging ...

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 Sciences
In 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.

Heatwaves in Mozambique 1983–2016: Characteristics, trends and city-level summaries using high-resolution CHIRTS-daily

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2023
The intensity, frequency, and duration of heatwaves are increasing worldwide. Still, heatwaves are systematically underreported and underresearched across the African continent. This study examines heatwaves across Mozambique, a country highly vulnerable

The unprecedented spatial extent and intensity of the 2021 summer extreme heatwave event over the Western North American regions

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2023
A record-breaking heatwave event occurred in western North America in the summer of 2021. Previous studies on a similar event's uniqueness and return period are typically estimated based on extreme value analysis and statistics of selected stations or ...

Tropical western and central Pacific marine heatwave data calculated from gridded sea surface temperature observations and CMIP6

Data in Brief, 2022
Processed marine heatwave metrics are provided for the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean region (120°E-140°W, 40°S-15°N). The metrics are computed from daily sea surface temperature (SST) data, from both observations and models.

Anatomy of Indian heatwaves [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractIndia suffers from major heatwaves during March-June. The rising trend of number of intense heatwaves in recent decades has been vaguely attributed to global warming. Since the heat waves have a serious effect on human mortality, root causes of these heatwaves need to be clarified.

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.
