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

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
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.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Perspectives on synoptic climate classification and its role in interdisciplinary research [PDF]

, 2016
Synoptic climatology has a long history of research where weather data are aggregated and composited to gain a better understanding of atmospheric effects on non-atmospheric variables.

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.

Indoor heat stress: An assessment of human bioclimate using the UTCI in different buildings in Berlin [PDF]

DIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2014
Because humans spend most of their time indoors and can be negatively affected by unfavourable thermal environments, the assessment of indoor heat stress is an important issue for public health care. To characterise indoor human bioclimate, the Universal

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 ...
