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 ...

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.

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

Miscellanea 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.

Human Thermal Load in Warm Season Weather Conditions of Temperate, Lowland, Continental Climates Based on the Results of the New Clothing Model

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
We analyzed the summer weather from the point of view of human thermal load by using the new clothing resistance model and by introducing the concept of “compensatory sweating”. The model uses measured sweating (“regulatory sweating”) as input; the two sweating variables are independent of each other.

Shading–Ventilation Trade-Offs in Courtyard-Cluster Rural Buildings: A CFD–UTCI Assessment of Courtyards and Covered Semi-Open Spaces in Hot-Humid South China

Buildings
Courtyard-cluster layouts are common in rural public buildings in hot-humid regions, but their open-space types remain poorly quantified. We assessed a completed elderly-care center in Shaoguan, South China, using steady-state RANS CFD (simpleFoam ...

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

Meteorological 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 ...

Heat stress and occupational health and safety – spatial and temporal differentiation

Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2014
Evidence of climatic health hazards on the general population has been discussed in many studies but limited focus is placed on developing a relationship between climate and its effects on occupational health.

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

Quarterly 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.
