What happens in a heatwave? Despite health warnings of high chances of heatstroke, dehydration and fatality, more than 1,100 deaths have been recorded (as of May 27). However these figures are expected to escalate. Construction workers, the elderly and young are vulnerable. Taxi drivers ...
The final analysis included 13,527 participants, of whom 2,341 were still alive at the end of follow up. A total of 1,806 participants were lost in subsequent surveys but had contributed person-time until their loss. There were 3,249 deaths during the summer months (May to September) ...

Older adults are highly vulnerable to the detriment of extreme weather. The rapid non-linear increase in heat-related morbidity is difficult to quantify, hindering the attribution of direct effects of exposure on severe health outcomes. We examine the ef
Tropical cyclones (TCs) have caused extensive power outages. The impacts of TC-caused blackouts may worsen in the future as TCs and heatwaves intensify. Here we couple TC and heatwave projections and power outage and recovery process analysis to investig
Heat conditions in North America in summer 2021 exceeded previous heatwaves by margins many would have considered impossible under current climate conditions. Associated severe impacts highlight the need for understanding the physical drivers of the heatwave and relations to climate change, to improve th...
