Human society and ecosystems are impacted by climate extremes more than by climate
averages. In contrast with climate extremes that are driven by individual climatic variables …

Owing to amplified impacts on human society and ecosystems, compound events (or
extremes) have attracted ample attention in recent decades. China is particularly vulnerable …

Global warming shifts daytime-only heatwaves to nighttime-only and day–night compound
heatwaves. However, evidence on the cause-specific burdens of these heatwaves in a …

When multiple extremes occur in rapid sequence, their impacts cascade to cause
disproportionate damages. However, the prevalence of univariate definitions and inability to …

Compound dry and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) can cause reduced crop yield, posing
threat to food security. Their impacts can be even higher than their univariate counterparts …

Using non-accidental mortality records from 195 sites and 11 model simulations from the
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6, we assessed future avoidable heat-related …

We report here extreme daytime and nighttime temperatures, severe heatwaves, and
compound hot events recorded in China'five most densely populated city clusters in summer …

Background Global warming has provoked more co-occurrence of hot extreme and dry
extreme, namely compound hot-dry events (CHDEs). However, their health impacts have …

Significant increases in both heatwaves and heavy precipitation were reported under global
warming, leading to detrimental social, economic, and environmental impacts. However …

Urban parks reduce air temperatures within parks and surroundings by exerting the cooling
island effect, significant for mitigating the urban microclimate. However, the park cooling …
