Frequent, Intense and Prolonged Human‐Perceived Heat Waves Over the Arabian Peninsula in Recent Decades

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The spatial distribution of WBGT exhibits a widespread and significant warming trend across the Arabian Peninsula (AP), with, particularly, strong increases observed over the central and northern inland and eastern coastal regions of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, where trends exceed ~0.25°C decade−1.

Representation of Long‐Term Observed UK Winter Precipitation Trends and Variability in UKCP18 Global Climate Models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Evaluating historical precipitation trends is complicated by interactions between variability in atmospheric circulation and thermodynamic forcing. This study assesses 1901–2023 UK winter precipitation trends in UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) global climate models using dynamical adjustment to separate circulation‐driven and non‐dynamical ...

A New Hydroclimatic Signature: Negative NAO Dominance Under Weak La Niña Conditions During the 2025–2026 Northwest Africa Floods

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Conceptual hydroclimatic pathway linking the concurrent negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) phase and weak La Niña conditions to extreme February rainfall and flash flooding in Northwest Africa. ABSTRACT The winter of 2025–2026 in Morocco exhibited a rapid hydroclimatic transition from prolonged drought to widespread flooding, representing an ...

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

open access: yesInternational 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.
