The risk of heatwave events and their persistence has intensified in recent past and is
expected to increase faster in future. However, the anticipated changes in socioeconomic …

Summary Background In China, most previous projections of heat-related mortality have
been based on modeling studies using global climate models (GCMs), which can help to …

Heatwaves describe prolonged periods of excessive heat. The increasing trend in heatwave
frequency, duration, and magnitude in a warmer future has been extensively investigated …

A heat risk assessment in complex urban areas is important to mitigate the impact of the
urban heat island (UHI) and to accurately implement cooling measures. Previous studies …

Determining the contribution of urbanization to extreme high-temperature events is essential
to the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei (BTH). Based on the dynamic …

Heatwaves of different spatial types can cause various impacts. Based on the spatial
heatwave intensity, 47 North China heatwaves from 1961 to 2019 could be classified into …

Extreme heatwaves are among the most important climate-related disasters affecting public
health. Assessing heatwave-related population exposures under different warming …

Hot extremes, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and surface ozone all have prominent effects on
human health and ecosystems. Here we show evidence that both hot extremes and high …

Many previous studies have reported that atmospheric circulation anomalies are generally
the direct cause of extreme high-temperature (EHT). However, the atmospheric circulation …

Heatwaves can produce catastrophic effects on public health and natural systems,
especially under global warming. There are two methods to measure heatwaves, computed …
