Urban Thermal Environment and Its Future Change in Central Sapporo: A Case Study on Hot, Clear Days in 2022 and 2024

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Field measurements and numerical simulations assessed present and future urban thermal environments in central Sapporo. Observations revealed spatial distribution in central Sapporo, Japan. Simulations with +2 K warming and 2030s redevelopment showed overall heat stress intensification, localized cooling by building shade, enhanced downstream ...

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

open access: yesQuarterly 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.

UTCI forecasts in Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service

open access: yes, 2021
Extreme events are expected to be more frequent and intensified in the future as a consequence of global warming. Therefore, the algorithm for calculating heat waves and cold spells that are part of biometeorological forecast in the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) as well as the Meteoalarm warning system, needs further ...

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

open access: yesTransactions 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 ...

Principles of the New Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and its Application to Bioclimatic Research in European Scale

open access: yesMiscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2010
During the last century about 100 indices were developed to assess influences of the atmosphere on human being. However, most of them have not close relationships with physiological reactions in man.

Impact of Different Vegetation Scenarios on Solar Power Plant Performance: An ENVI‐Met and Machine Learning–Based Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Solar energy systems are highly sensitive to microclimatic conditions, particularly in hot‐summer continental regions where elevated temperatures significantly reduce photovoltaic (PV) efficiency. This study investigates how different vegetation configurations influence the microclimate and performance of a 250 kW operational PV plant located on a 5000
