Fig. 2: Global maps of cumulative heat statistics. The highest seasonal cumulative heat (sum of anomalies relative to the calendar-day 90th percentile) (a); the year in which this value occurs (b); decadal trends in the percentage change of cumulative heat (c) and heatwave days (d); th...
One of the direct and unavoidable consequences of global warming-induced rising temperatures is the more recurrent and severe heatwaves. In recent years, even countries like Malaysia seldom had some mild to severe heatwaves. As the Earth's average temper
Heat waves are increasing in severity, duration, and frequency. The Multi-Scenario Extreme Weather Simulator (MEWS) models this using historical data, climate model outputs, and heat wave multipliers. In this study, MEWS is applied for planning of a community resilience hub in Hau’ula, Hawaii....
Table 2 presents statistics associated with the activity of tropical modes over the Guinean region as detected at the reference longitude of 5° E (described in Sect. 2.3) focusing mainly on the most suppressed and the most enhanced phases (phases 1 and 5 respectively). During the MAMJ seaso...
Frimpong et al (2020) found that heat stress consider- ably influences farmers in Bawku East of Northern Ghana, with malaria and heat cramps identified among the recur- ring diseases. Nunfam et al (2019a) established a relation- ship (p < 0.05) between historical climate change ...
The researchers used extreme value statistics — a method to estimate the return periods of rare events — and large datasets from climate models and observations to pinpoint regions globally where temperature records are most likely to be broken soonest and the communities consequently in greatest da...
In analyzing heat wave vulnerability in South Asia, Morabito et al. (2021) highlighted community- and residential-based bioclimatic adaptation strategies such as blue–green spaces, indoor passive cooling, infrastructural adjustments, and heat action plans to mitigate heat discomfort. In India, millions...
Heatwaves could be one of the most dangerous weather-related hazards in Africa, yet the most comprehensive list of past disasters events globally, the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT), recorded only two heatwaves events from 1900–2019 (https://public.emdat.be) [25]. Heatwave is ...
Around 26% of the total world’s population lives in Southern Asia [26], and the region constitutes eight countries, including Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives (Figure 1). The average annual temperature is heterogeneous in the region (Table ...
