Heatwaves are often called "silent killers," and are one of the clearest examples of an environmental hazard that leads to adverse health outcomes. Over the past two decades we have seen changes in individual heatwave characteristics that can be attributed to human induced climate change—and in...
Given the evidence that heat waves do not affect the entire population but susceptibility is greater among the elderly [3, 4, 7], EuroHEAT was focused on people aged 65 years and over. The main objectives of this paper are: to provide a unique definition of "heat wave" to be applied ac...
(2013). Impact of 2003 heat waves on aerobiological indices of allergenic herbaceous family pollen season in Tuscany (Italy). Aerobiologia, 29 , 399–406.Natali, F., Cecchi, L., Torrigiani Malaspina, T., Barbano, F. & Orlandini, S. 2013: Impact of 2003 heat waves on aerobiological ...
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...
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 ...
Heatwaves are becoming more frequent under climate change and can lead to thousands of excess deaths. Adaptation to extreme weather events often occurs in response to an event, with communities learning fast following unexpectedly impactful events. Using

This study addresses the combined effects of atmospheric heat waves and coastal wind-driven upwelling. The study focusses on the year 2014, when in the region of the Baltic Sea, a major summer heat wave (HW) was registered, and in addition, intense coastal upwelling (CU) with a cooling ef...
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...
Common occurrences of subsurface heatwaves and cold spells in ocean eddies With climate change, mesoscale eddies are increasing in importance as drivers of subsurface extreme marine heatwaves and cold spells that do not correlate with surface events, with implications for severe impacts on marine biodi...
