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 …

With climate change, heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent, intense and broader
in spatial extent. However, while the lethal effects of heat waves on humans are well …

Recent climate extremes have broken long-standing records by large margins. Such
extremes unprecedented in the observational period often have substantial impacts due to a …

Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate risks due to their agglomeration of people,
buildings and infrastructure. Differences in methodology, hazards considered, and climate …

Extreme weather and climate‐related events occur in a particular place, by definition,
infrequently. It is therefore challenging to detect systematic changes in their occurrence …

Over the last decade, the world warmed by 0.25° C, in-line with the roughly linear trend
since the 1970s. Here we present updated analyses showing that this seemingly small shift …

Persistent episodes of extreme weather in the Northern Hemisphere summer have been
shown to be associated with the presence of high-amplitude quasi-stationary atmospheric …

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 number and intensity of heat waves has increased, and this trend is likely to continue
throughout the 21st century. Often, heat waves are accompanied by drought conditions. It is …

The impacts of concurrent droughts and heatwaves could be more serious compared to their
individual occurrence. Meteorological drought condition is generally characterized by low …
