Quantifying Urban Morphology‐Induced Uncertainty in Urban Meteorology and Heat Stress Simulations in Southern California

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Accurate representation of land use and urban morphological parameters (UMPs), particularly building height, road width, and roof width, is critical for urban climate/weather modeling. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) coupled with the Single‐Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM) has been widely used; however, few studies have quantified ...

Multi-objective method of selecting performance-based local climatic zones using binomial logistic regression in warm and humid climate

Frontiers of Architectural Research
Urban agglomeration is a serious concern due to its high energy usage and impact on the local climate. Developing countries strive to determine the development path to optimize energy usage.

Quantification urban heat island (UHI) using the local climate zone classification (LCZ): A case study in Constantine

Revue Nature et Technologie, 2022
The number of issues assigned to the risks of urban warming has highlighted the extremely problematic nature of this phenomenon that affects the local climate characteristics of urban areas. In this context, city planners are strongly solicited to consider climatic information in their process of design. The use of classification schemes, such as Local

Spatial variation of physiologically equivalent temperature in different Local Climate Zones of a large city during a hot spell

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2021
Global warming increases the risk of heat stress in Europe. Hence, heat stress must be considered as a health hazard for individuals working in outdoors and indoors conditions. Physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) is more related to the perceived

Whirlwinds in Ladakh, India: An Initial Assessment of ARW‐WRF Performance

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
First‐ever visual evidence of whirlwinds in the Himalayan Ladakh region is presented. Whirlwinds were photographically captured in Stok, Choglamsar, and Nubra valleys in Ladakh, India, in June 2018. It is estimated that the spatial extent of these whirlwinds was ~50 m2, vertical extent ~0.5–1 km, and lasted for ~15 min. Local communities were concerned

Assessment of urban physical features on summer thermal perceptions using the local climate zone classification

, 2023
Urbanisation has changed local meteorological conditions worldwide. The physical features of outdoor spaces are critical in determining outdoor thermal comfort through changes in meteorological parameters.

Evaluating the Accuracy of Different Local Climate Zone Maps [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Local Climate Zones (LCZs) are essential for understanding urban climates, providing crucial information for urban planning, environmental monitoring, and addressing challenges like the urban heat island effect.

Unravelling indoor temperature response to summer heat through long‐term crowdsourced observations in Dutch residences

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 775, January 2026 Part B.
This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

Thermodynamic and Technoeconomic Assessment of a Multigeneration Renewable Energy System for Energy Independence in Gn. Fuvahmulah and L. Gan of Maldives

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The lack of natural energy resources, coupled with the Maldives’ complete dependance on imported electricity, makes sustainable power solutions imperative. This study examines the design and performance of a renewable energy (RE) system for Gn. Fuvahmulah and L. Gan.

Microclimatic Buffering by Front‐Yard Vegetation: Simulation‐Based Assessment of Near‐Façade Environmental Modulation in Urban Houses

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Residential buildings in low‐vegetation urban areas are increasingly exposed to heat and air–pollution stress, particularly in suburbs with limited canopy cover near traffic and industrial sources. This study investigates how front‐yard vegetation functions as a near‐façade microclimatic buffer, moderating outdoor boundary conditions and providing ...
