Divergent Heat Assessments Across Thermal Stress and Sensation Metrics

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A large and growing body of literature has indicated potential inconsistencies in heat assessments due to the use of different heat stress indices (HSI). This divergence hinders the emergence of scientific consensus and impairs the development of public policy on a range of topics, including climate change impacts, public health guidance, and ...

Daytime–nighttime asymmetry of UTCI changes in Northwest China during 1964–2023

Advances in Climate Change Research
Under global climate change, asymmetry in sub-daily human thermal comfort changes and its possible thermal risks remain insufficiently understood in arid and semi-arid regions.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Heat and Cold Waves in Brazil: An ERA5‐Based Analysis of Trends and Seasonality (1980–2024)

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
This study uses ERA5 reanalysis data to assess changes in extreme heat and cold events across Brazil from 1980 to 2024. Results reveal a sharp increase in heatwave frequency and a general decline in coldwave occurrences, though regional variations are substantial.

Human Thermal Load in Warm Season Weather Conditions of Temperate, Lowland, Continental Climates Based on the Results of the New Clothing Model

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
We analyzed the summer weather from the point of view of human thermal load by using the new clothing resistance model and by introducing the concept of “compensatory sweating”. The model uses measured sweating (“regulatory sweating”) as input; the two sweating variables are independent of each other.

UCanWBGT: urban street canyon heat stress calculation for weather and climate models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
This work introduces UCanWBGT, a new model to calculate wet‐bulb globe temperature in an urban environment, suitable for use with weather and climate model data. We present the model, then verify its performance against observations made in the streets of Paris during heatwave conditions.

HomoTherm: An Open‐Source Approach to Modelling Heat Exchange in Humans and Other Hominins in Diverse Environments

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present ‘HomoTherm’, a human heat budget model for simulating humans and related species with diverse traits in diverse environments. It is part of the NicheMapR package for biophysical modelling and is a multi‐part extension of the ‘endoR’ function.

Heat Stress Prediction in Glasgow: Integration of Historical Data With Machine Learning Models

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban heat stress is intensifying because of climate change, particularly in densely constructed areas where urban morphology significantly affects thermal conditions. This research examines how vegetation and built form influence heat stress in Glasgow by integrating historical geospatial data, Artificial Neural Network (ANN)‐based ...
