Extreme weather dataIndoor overheating riskBuilding thermal performanceClimate changeResidential buildingsA failure to consider extreme weather conditions in building design can lead to poor resilience and low passive survivability of buildings. Several approaches exist to construct extreme weather files for ...
Relatively newer and also known as "instant" tents, pop-up tents are spring-loaded and pop into shape in just a few seconds. These tents are not meant for extreme weather conditions; there are better options for camping in inclement weather. Ease of use is the key perk with pop-up tents...
Shingles also tend to be considerably vulnerable to extreme weather conditions. Extreme heating from the sun may cause shingles to age quickly. In addition, a good roofing design with shingles requires a great deal of expertise and workmanship. Otherwise, the shingles can experience punctures or bl...

Owing to their extreme weather conditions, only a few animals live in the deserts. A good example is a camel that is capable of storing sufficient water and withstands the heat. Many other desert animals are nocturnal, spending most of their time underground during the day. Examples include ...
It was found later that since the mid-80s, more than 1,200 people have died, and 568 of them from heart related conditions. The experts then compared the reaction times, smoking and drinking habits, weight and other factors of those people who had passed away with those who had survived....
The dataset contains 97 freak waves occurring in both calm and stormy weather conditions. All of the freak waves are solitary waves, 63% of them having positive shape, 17.5% negative shape and 19.5% sign-variable shape. It is suggested that the freak waves can be divided into two groups. ...
The availability of fuel is highly influenced by previous and current vegetation status and is a precondition for wildfires, yet extensive burning only occurs when fuels are dry and weather conditions are conducive to wildfire spread18. The Canadian Forest Wildfire Weather Index (FWI) system19 is ...
Many bird species rely on the ecological functions of rice field habitats (e.g., paddy, levee, road, and ditch). However, recent intensive practices are causing rice fields to provide fewer suitable habitats. This study examined bird habitat usage and how it is affected by cultivation methods...
