There were 3,249 deaths during the summer months (May to September) and 6,131 deaths outside of the summer season. Extended Data Fig. 3 Population attributable fractions (PAF) of heatwave using CMA, WMO, and NOAA definitions. Note: The bar plots indicate the weighted PAF of heatwave days...

2,3. Europe has seen a particularly strong increase in heat extremes since the deadly summer 2003 heatwave4,5, which is estimated to have caused ~70,000 excess deaths6. This tendency is illustrated by the recent cluster of consecutive exceptionally...
A heatwave is characterised as an unusually high temperature that continues for several days. However, the methods for defining heatwaves vary considering the relative threshold and/or absolute threshold methods depending on the geographical locations around the world (Baldwin et al.2019; Mukherjee et ...
This extra strain on the heart is why there is an increase in deaths from heart attacks and strokes when temperatures soar. And as the blood heads to my skin, it's my brain that loses out. Blood flow goes down and so does my short-term memory. ...

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
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
represented the second estimated economic damage (after hurricanes) among the main weather and climate disaster events in the United States from 2004 to 2013 [1]. The impact of HWs on mortality is particularly high in Europe, accounting for over 80% of the total heatwave-related deaths world...
