A Climatology of Heatwaves Over Greece for the Period 1960–2022
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.This research examines the spatiotemporal evolution of heatwaves in Greece from 1960 to 2022, utilising a long timeseries of homogenised high‐quality data with broad spatial coverage. It focuses on identifying heatwaves using verified definitions, introducing spatial and intensity classifications to understand their diverse regional variations ...

Extreme temperatures are the leading cause of climate-related mortality worldwide. To inform mitigation and adaptation strategies, it is crucial to have accurate feels-like temperature measures that quantify thermal stress on human physiology. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is among the most widely used feels-like temperature metrics in ...
