Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Caption: Table A. 11. 2. Synthesis table summarising assessments presented in Tables 11.4-
11.21 for hot extremes (HOT EXT.), heavy precipitation (HEAVY PRECIP.), agriculture and …

Urban overheating is documented for more than 400 major cities in the world. Numerous
experimental data show that the magnitude of the average temperature increase may …

The physical understanding and timely prediction of extreme weather events are of
enormous importance to society due to their associated impacts. In this article, we highlight …

Compound droughts and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) may lead to larger repercussions
than do individual extremes. Due to the disastrous impacts and increased risk of these …

Climate change amplifies dry and hot extremes, yet the mechanism, extent, scope, and
temporal scale of causal linkages between dry and hot extremes remain underexplored …

Severe, extreme, and exceptional heat waves, such as those that occurred over the Balkans
(2007), France (2003), or Russia (2010), are associated with increased mortality, human …

Heat waves (HWs) are among the most damaging climate extremes to human society.
Climate models consistently project that HW frequency, severity, and duration will increase …

Abstract The Paris Agreement calls for global warming to be limited to 1.5–2° C. For the first
time, this study investigates how different regional heatwave characteristics (intensity …
