Recent frontiers of climate changes in East Asia at global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C

Qinglong You et al.

Summary: This study reviews recent research on East Asian climate change at global warming of 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius. It finds that the intensity and variability of the East Asian summer monsoon are expected to increase slightly, along with enhanced water vapor transport. Other expected changes include the strengthening of the Western Pacific Subtropical High and a southward shift of the East Asian jet. However, there is high uncertainty regarding the intensity of the East Asian winter monsoon. In addition, significant warming and wetting will occur in East Asia, with more pronounced climate extremes at 2 degrees Celsius warming compared to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Model simulations show substantial divergence in the regional climate changes and the location of warming hotspots. The study also highlights the importance of understanding the differences between transient and stabilized warming scenarios for emission policies.

More Persistent Summer Compound Hot Extremes Caused by Global Urbanization

Feng Ma et al.

Summary: Urbanization contributes significantly to the increase in compound hot extremes (CoHot) which consider both daytime and nighttime heat, compared to daytime hot extremes (DayHot) alone. The increase in frequency, duration, and intensity of CoHot over urban areas is more significant, with urbanization contributing to around 12.5%, 15.4%, and 16.7% of the increases, respectively. This study implies that the impacts of urbanization on hot extremes may be underestimated if only considering DayHot.

Higher Probability of Occurrence of Hotter and Shorter Heat Waves Followed by Heavy Rainfall

Jiewen You et al.

Summary: Research shows that consecutive heat waves followed by heavy rainfall events are common in China, with shorter and hotter heat waves more likely to trigger heavy rainfall. This meteorological phenomenon is related to atmospheric convection and moisture convergence, and future climate projections indicate these events will occur more frequently and abruptly, increasing the risk of back-to-back heat waves and flash floods.

Hot extremes have become drier in the United States Southwest

Karen A. McKinnon et al.

Summary: Global humidity has been increasing due to warming, but the Southwest United States has experienced a decrease in summer humidity since 1950, particularly on hot days, linked to decreased soil moisture rather than atmospheric moisture transport. Uncertainty exists in projections due to variations in precipitation trends among models. The recent decrease in summer soil moisture in the region is explained by declines in June soil moisture, with future projections of hot, dry days uncertain due to differences in trends in soil moisture and precipitation.

Increasing Compound Heat and Precipitation Extremes Elevated by Urbanization in South China

Sijia Wu et al.

Summary: The study found that extreme precipitation events in Guangdong are often preceded by hot weather, especially in densely populated and highly urbanized areas such as the Pearl River Delta. Additionally, there is a significant increasing trend in the frequency and fraction of compound extreme heat and precipitation events, particularly in more developed areas, with this trend accelerating in recent decades. Furthermore, local urbanization contributes significantly to the increases in the frequency and fraction of compound events.

Characteristics of concurrent precipitation and wind speed extremes in China

Yuqing Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that concurrent precipitation and wind speed extremes in China from 1981 to 2018 were most common in southern regions, especially in the southeast coastal areas, with the highest occurrence in summer months. There was a reversal in the concurrent extremes around 2011, which may be related to the increase in individual extreme precipitation and wind speed events.

Storylines of weather-induced crop failure events under climate change

Henrique M. D. Goulart et al.

Summary: The study suggests that crop failures in the midwestern US are linked to low precipitation levels, high temperature, and diurnal temperature range (DTR) levels. With climate change, soybean failures are likely to increase, as more frequent warm years due to global warming make the joint hot-dry conditions leading to crop failures more dependent on precipitation levels. Event analogues of the 2012 season are rare and not expected to increase, but impact analogues show a significant increase in occurrence frequency under global warming, with different combinations of meteorological drivers than experienced in 2012.

Stronger temperature-moisture couplings exacerbate the impact of climate warming on global crop yields

Corey Lesk et al.

Summary: Climate change is projected to modify temperature-moisture couplings and potentially worsen the impacts of warming on key global crops. Rising air temperatures pose a significant risk to global crop production, with the sensitivity of crops to heat depending on the strength of temperature-moisture couplings in the climate system. However, the impact of these changes on crop yields is highly uncertain in some regions, highlighting the need for robust adaptation strategies to address the underappreciated risk to food production from climate change.
