The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC) have predicted that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) will be beset with increasingly extreme climatic events, including cyclones, floods and heatwaves. SIDS are well used...
The most common definition for a heat wave is given by exceeding the trigger, or threshold, for maximum and/or minimum temperatures. Future scenarios of climate change state that heat waves will become more intense and frequent. Due to this, the implementation of prevention plans to reduce the...
Climate change makes record-breaking heatwaves in northwest India and Pakistan 100 times more likely, a Met Office study finds.英国气象局的一项研究发现，气候变化导致印度西北部和巴基斯坦的破纪录高温天气的发生频率增加了100倍。The region should now expect a heatwave that exceeds the record temperatures ...
Heatwaves and droughts pose a risk to human life and cause huge losses. The IPCC expects them to increase in many regions as a result of climate change.
The urban heat island (UHI) significantly impacted the frequency and severity of heat waves over Yerevan (the capital city). In contrast to the background climate change effect over the entire country, the asymmetric warming trends of nighttime temperatures were observed over Yerevan due to the ...
recurring heatwaves have been affecting large portions of Asia,Europe, and theUnited States, priming the land forfires in places like Greece, Spain, andCanada, triggering unhealthy air warnings, evacuations, and heat-related deaths. The increasingly threatening effects of the climate crisis are also...
Climate change isn’t just about rising seas and hotter heatwaves; it’s also bringing about a pothole (坑洞) disaster on our roads! In 2023, the UK reported nearly 630,000 pothole complaints — a shocking five-year peak. Across the road, the USA saw a shocking 57% increase in vehicle...
Lake ecosystems, and the organisms that live within them, are vulnerable to temperature change1–5, including the increased occurrence of thermal extremes6. However, very little is known about lake heatwaves—periods of extreme warm lake surface water te
