International Journal of Climatology, Volume 45, Issue 8, 30 June 2025.From 1980 to 2020, it was found that not only summer heat stress, in terms of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), but also winter cold stress has been worsening throughout Japan. Daily maximum UTCI values above which heat stroke cases rapidly increased tend to be relatively low in northern cities.

Nexus of thermal resilience and energy efficiency in buildings: A case study of a nursing home [PDF]
, 2020 Extreme weather events become more frequent and severe due to climate change. Although energy efficiency technologies can influence thermal resilience of buildings, they are traditionally studied separately, and their interconnections are rarely ...

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2025.We identified 27 indicators that were grouped into 5 key areas: (1) surface and urban overheating indicators; (2) building type and structure indicators; (3) green infrastructure indicators; (4) soil‐sealing indicators; and (5) water‐sensitive urban development indicators. We concluded in the review that green infrastructure and soil‐sealing indicators,

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract Individuals experiencing homelessness are highly vulnerable to urban environmental hazards, such as heat and air pollution, due to a lack of stable housing and limited access to indoor or cooled spaces. These risks are heightened for older adults and individuals with preexisting health conditions.

Analysis of the complex role of trees in street canyons using a large‐eddy simulation model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 769, April 2025 Part B.Our large‐eddy simulations with high spatial resolution (down to 1 m) show a significant improvement in thermal comfort in shaded areas beneath trees during the hottest part of the day and just after sunset. However, they also highlight a drawback: in narrower streets, PM10 concentrations more than doubled compared with areas without trees, suggesting ...

Thermal stress in the northern Carpathians and air circulation
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020 In mountain areas, air circulation plays a major role in the forming of the climate. This paper examines how it influences thermal stress in the northern Carpathians. The Niedźwiedź’s classification of air circulation was applied.
