We then assessed the impact of heat waves under various definitions on non-accidental mortality in hot season (May–September) in Wuhan, China during 2003–2010. Results: Heat waves defined by HW14 (daily mean temperature ≥ 99.0th percentile and duration ≥ 3 days) had the best predictive ...
Background: In the era of climate change, urban areas like Paris face heightened public health challenges, especially during heatwave occurrences. Although there is growing awareness, a research void exists regarding the intersectional effects of heatwaves, environmental variables, and demographic factors...
Extreme heatHealthcare spendingLow-intensity heatwaveSevere heatwaveEDBackground The health impacts of heatwaves are a growing public health concern with the frequency, intensity, and duration of heatwaves increasing with global climate change. However, little is known about the healthcare costs and ...
Consistent impacts of heatwaves were observed in each city with either a protective or null effect during heatwaves of low-intensity while claims increased during moderate/high-severity heatwaves compared with non-heatwave days. The highest effect during moderate/high-severity heatwaves was in Brisban...
The Impact of Summer Heatwaves on Urban Areas Summer heatwaves have become a common occurrence in urban areas around the world, posing significant challenges to both the environment and public health. These prolonged periods of excessive heat can have a range of impacts on urban areas, from ...

Scientists said global warming is a continuous process, but extreme weather will become more and more frequent and more intense. They argue that more storms, floods, droughts, as well as the impact of heat waves will make an unexpected and far-reaching. ...
To investigate the effect of heatwaves on population exposure, we also use population projection distributions under different shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) (SSP3 and SSP5) between 2010 and 210056,57. Since population projection data are provided at a spatial resolution of 1/8° × 1...
In urban regions, these future heat waves will be exacerbated by the urban heat island effect, and will have the potential to negatively influence the health and welfare of urban residents. In order to investigate the health effects of the urban heat island (UHI) in Shanghai, China, 30years...
GENEVA, June 28 (Xinhua) -- The first heatwave of the year, which is setting new temperature records across Europe, has posed a risk to people's health by triggering exhaustion or heat stroke, while also affecting agriculture and the environment, especially through wildfires, UN agencies warned...
