Urbanization intensifies urban heat and compromises thermal comfort. However, few studies
have examined the interactions of Urban Heat Island (UHI) between neighboring cities and …

Heatwaves have implications for human health and ecosystem function. Over cities, the
impacts of a heatwave event may be compounded by urban heat, where temperatures over …

With rising occurrence of heatwaves and ongoing urban expansion, urban residents are
facing severer heat-related stress under the combined effects of urban heat island (UHI) and …

Urban overheating poses a serious threat to human health. An insight into the daytime urban
thermal characteristics in different built-up areas is crucial for mitigating and adapting to …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is a widespread phenomenon because of increased
urbanization, making the urban thermal environment less comfortable. The UHI effect may …

An increase in global temperature will likely result in more intense and frequent heatwaves
that would last longer. Simultaneously, the growth of urban population requires more areas …

Heat waves are unusually high temperature events over consecutive days and may cause
adverse impacts such as morbidity and mortality. The interaction between heat waves and …

This study investigates the responses of the urban atmospheric thermal environment to two
distinct heat waves in Hefei, China, and explores potential changes associated with future …

City afforestation serves as a robust strategy for thermal mitigation. Employing multisource
satellite data, we explored the impact of vegetation cover on temperature dynamics across …

The complexity and uncertainty of urban excess warming are modulated by the morphology
of urban areas, canopy urban heat island (CUHI)–heat wave interactions, the geographical …
