Thus, billion-dollar weather disasters are associated with excess ED visits and mortality in Medicare beneficiaries. Tracking these outcomes is important for adaptation that protects patients and communities, health system resilience and policy. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your...
3.“Fire weather” conditions, including high temperatures, low humidity, dryness, and strong winds, boost wildfire risk and increase the potential for fires, once ignited, to intensify rapidly and spread
This was officially recognized as the name by the government in 1917 but was overruled in 2015 by President Obama in favor of its indigenous name. The mountain is also home to the third-highest weather station in the world. Mount Whitney, California — Highest Point in Contiguous States ...
Table 3. During the 1982–2015 growing seasons, the probability of occurrence of various extreme meteorological events in the study area and the proportion of areas that experienced various extreme meteorological events. Although the probability of extreme weather events is far less than normal weathe...
“By Sunday, the high temperature is going to be 86,” he said, “so that’s more typical weather you would expect in July.” The Salvation Army in the Bronx was one of hundreds of cooling centers open in New York City to give people a respite from the scorching heat. “It’s...

Here we analyze spatial variation in fire danger during episodic wind events in coastal southern California, a densely populated Mediterranean-climate region. By reconstructing almost a decade of fire weather patterns through detailed simulations of Santa Ana winds, we produced the first high-resolution...
A southward outbreak of high-latitude cold air caused by the movement of the SH often leads to anomalously low temperatures, freezing rain and snow, and other disastrous weather in China and across East Asia. The leading two modes of the winter SAT in China are spatially consistent country-...
related to mid-latitude weather over Asia or local weather (seeSupplementary Discussion). However, as the statistical model explains a large component of April SATs, we used the regression model to attribute the relative contributions of long-term warming and ENSO in producing observed extremes in...
