Rising risks of compound extreme heat-precipitation events in China

Guicai Ning et al.

Summary: The study reveals that around one-quarter of summer precipitation extremes over China are preceded by extreme heat events, and the fraction of compound precipitation events preceded by heat extremes has significantly increased since the 1960s. Moreover, the contribution of hot weather to extreme precipitation events has accelerated in recent decades across most parts of China.

Urbanization effects on high-frequency temperature variability over South China

Xuelin Tong et al.

Summary: This study examines the changes of high-frequency variability (HFV) of temperature in South China and quantifies the effects of urbanization. The results show a discernible spatial dependence of HFV with higher values in the northern inland and lower values in the southern coastal regions. The study also finds increasing HFV trends since the 1980s, particularly in highly developed regions such as the Pearl River Delta. Urbanization is estimated to contribute to additional intensifying effects on HFV, with higher urbanization effects in shorter time scales.

Urbanization contribution to human perceived temperature changes in major urban agglomerations of China

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: This study examines the long-term changes in human perceived temperature (HPT) in major urban agglomerations (UAs) in mainland China since the 1970s. The results show that urbanization effects on mean and extreme HPT display significant trends, particularly stronger in more populated and urbanized areas. Urbanization is estimated to account for around 1/6 of the total increasing trend in mean HPT and temperature, with more profound effects on HPT than temperature in both summer and winter seasons. Urbanization also affects the occurrence frequency of extreme temperature events, with northern UAs generally exhibiting more remarkable trends than the south.

Effects of high-frequency temperature variabilities on the morbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Evidence in 21 cities of Guangdong, South China

Hao Tian et al.

Summary: The study found that high-frequency temperature changes (increased DTD and IITV) significantly increased the risk of COPD hospitalization, while negative DTD was associated with reduced COPD morbidity and positive DTD elevated the risk of COPD. Males and individuals aged 0-64 years appeared to be more vulnerable to the effects of DTD than others. Potential sources of disparity among different cities include urbanization level, sex structure, industry structure, gross domestic product (GDP), health care services, and air quality.

Spatiotemporal assessment of extreme heat risk for high-density cities: A case study of Hong Kong from 2006 to 2016

Junyi Hua et al.

Summary: This study conducted a spatiotemporal hazard-exposure-vulnerability assessment of extreme heat risk in Hong Kong, finding spatial variations and identifying high-risk spots in core urban areas for both daytime and nighttime. The research integrated various data sources and highlighted changes in risk status in both old communities and new towns over the past decade.

Global urban population exposure to extreme heat

Cascade Tuholske et al.

Summary: The study highlights the increasing threat of extreme heat exposure to rapidly growing urban settlements globally, especially impacting the urban poor. By estimating daily urban population exposure to extreme heat from 1983 to 2016, the research shows that total urban warming plays a crucial role in the increase of exposure, outweighing the impact of urban population growth.

Anthropogenic emissions and urbanization increase risk of compound hot extremes in cities

Jun Wang et al.

Summary: Observation and simulation data across eastern China indicate increasing risks of compound heat extremes in urban areas, attributed to urban expansion and anthropogenic emissions. These compound events are more dangerous than single daytime or nighttime heat extremes, especially for female and older urban residents. Future emissions and urbanization are projected to further increase the frequency of these events, leading to a significant growth in urban population exposure to heat threats.

Rapid rises in the magnitude and risk of extreme regional heat wave events in China

Jun Wang et al.

Summary: This study used an objective identification technique to reveal a significant increase in both the frequency and magnitude of regional heat wave events in China, with projections indicating a continued rise in severe heat waves by 2030. Additionally, it was found that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius could halve the occurrence of future severe regional heat wave events compared to a 2-degree Celsius warming scenario.

Increasing Human-Perceived Heat Stress Risks Exacerbated by Urbanization in China: A Comparative Study Based on Multiple Metrics

Ming Luo et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization in China has led to increasing summer heat stress in urban agglomerations, especially in heavily populated and developed areas in northern regions. Urbanization contributes significantly to the intensification of heat stress, with urban core areas experiencing stronger trends compared to rural areas. Geographical region and population density influence the impact of urbanization on heat stress, with different heat stress metrics yielding varying estimations of trends.
