DIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2014 The paper presents a new approach to the study of the spatial variability of heat stress in urban areas. The Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI was applied for this purpose. The spatial variability of UTCI at the local scale was studied using examples

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 ...

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 ...

International 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

UTCI forecasts in Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service
, 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 ...
