Reviewing recent literature, we report that changes in extreme heat event characteristics
such as magnitude, frequency, and duration are highly sensitive to changes in mean global …

The objective of this paper is to review statistical methods, dynamics, modeling efforts, and
trends related to temperature extremes, with a focus upon extreme events of short duration …

Land-atmosphere interactions play an important role for hot temperature extremes in
Europe. Dry soils may amplify such extremes through feedbacks with evapotranspiration …

Hurricane Maria was associated with record‐breaking rainfall over Puerto Rico and caused
unprecedented flooding and landslides. Here we analyze the extreme rainfall produced by …

Heat waves are an important type of extreme climate event and directly result in more than
130 deaths per year across the United States. Heat waves have been described by several …

Regional climate models (RCMs) are the primary source of high-resolution climate
projections, and it is of crucial importance to evaluate their ability to simulate extreme events …

Atmospheric blockings are generally associated with large-scale high-pressure systems that
interrupt west-to-east atmospheric flow in mid and high latitudes. Blockings cause several …

The wheat belt along the Indo‐Gangetic Plains (IGP) in India is an emergent hotspot of
climate change‐driven crop loss threatening local food security. Using statistical …

Maximum and minimum daily temperatures from the second half of the twentieth century are
examined using a high resolution dataset of 833 grid cells across the state of Florida. A …

Exposure to extreme heat, or heat waves, represents a public health threat as well as an
environmental health threat. With projections for further increases in temperature in some …
