Spatiotemporal changes in Hourly Wet Bulb Globe temperature in Peninsular Malaysia

Mohamad Rajab Houmsi et al.

Summary: Global warming causes a rise in temperature and alteration of other meteorological variables, leading to direct or indirect impacts on human comfort. The wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) integrates various meteorological variables to provide a reliable measure of human thermal stress. However, there is limited research on the characterization and trend assessment of WBGT in the tropical humid region like Peninsular Malaysia due to the lack of necessary meteorological data. This study utilized reanalysis meteorological data to evaluate the characteristics and changes in outdoor WBGT over Peninsular Malaysia from 1959 to 2021. The results showed an increasing trend in WBGT for all time scales, with the coastal and south regions experiencing the highest increase. The generated information and maps can be used for heat-related stress risk mitigation planning in Peninsular Malaysia, where temperature extremes have been rapidly increasing in recent years.

Projection of Hot and Cold Extremes in the Amu River Basin of Central Asia using GCMs CMIP6

Obaidullah Salehie et al.

Summary: Due to global warming, extreme temperatures have become more frequent and intense, especially in dry regions, with devastating consequences for the Amu river basin in Central Asia. This study projected warm and cold extremes for different socioeconomic scenarios in the basin using climate models. The results showed that the west of the basin would experience more hot extremes, while the east would see more cold extremes. The annual mean of maximum and minimum temperatures would significantly increase, with the increase in minimum temperatures being higher than maximum temperatures. This would lead to an increase in hot extremes and a decrease in cold extremes, with the west experiencing a higher increase in hot extremes and the east experiencing a higher decrease in cold extremes.

Projection of droughts in Amu river basin for shared socioeconomic pathways CMIP6

Obaidullah Salehie et al.

Summary: This study assessed the changes in drought characteristics in Central Asia's transboundary Amu river basin and predicted future drought conditions. The results showed a decrease in precipitation and an increase in potential evapotranspiration, leading to a decrease in moderate droughts and an increase in other severities of droughts, primarily in the central and northwest parts of the basin.

Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature, Universal Thermal Climate Index, and Other Heat Metrics for US Counties, 2000-2020

Keith R. Spangler et al.

Summary: Epidemiological research on extreme heat shows significant impacts on human health. However, existing studies often use simplified measures of heat and do not consider spatial variations. To address this, the authors created a database and a calculation tool to facilitate more comprehensive analysis.

Comprehensive analysis of thermal stress over northwest India: Climatology, trends and extremes

Krishna Kumar Shukla et al.

Summary: Heat waves are frequent in the Indian subcontinent during the summer, with higher thermal stress levels in northwest India. The study shows significant rising trends in thermal discomfort and indicates that surface temperature and relative humidity are increasing, contributing to the intensification of thermal discomfort. The research also suggests that strong westerly winds from the Arabian Sea bring moisture and contribute to high thermal stress conditions in the region.

Weather suitability for outdoor tourism in three European regions in first decades of the twenty-first century

Blazejczyk Anna et al.

Summary: The study shows that outdoor tourism and recreational activities are strongly dependent on actual meteorological conditions, with different regions and seasons having varying weather suitability for different forms of outdoor recreation. Passive forms of recreation are preferred in the summer months, while active forms of recreation are more popular in autumn, winter, and spring in southern resorts.

Association between ambient temperature and heat waves with mortality in South Asia: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Asya Dimitrova et al.

Summary: Studies on the direct relationship between ambient temperature, heat waves, and all-cause mortality in South Asia found that both high and low temperatures are associated with increased mortality, with a statistically significant association only at higher temperatures. Factors affecting mortality rates include cause of death, age, sex, location, level of education, and socioeconomic status, but the evidence is limited and inconsistent due to the small number of studies.

Current and projected regional economic impacts of heatwaves in Europe

David Garcia-Leon et al.

Summary: Research shows that Europe is facing significant economic losses due to reduced labor productivity caused by heatwaves. Future projections suggest that if no action is taken, these impacts could increase by almost five times by 2060.

Heat stress, labour productivity and adaptation in Europe-a regional and occupational analysis

Wojciech Szewczyk et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of global warming and heat stress on labor productivity and the broader economy. By 2080, European labor productivity is projected to decrease by 1.6%, with southern and eastern regions being more severely affected. However, adaptation measures such as air conditioning and wearable robotics have the potential to reduce losses by 30%-40%.

Assessment of drought events, their trend and teleconnection factors over Burundi, East Africa

Athanase Nkunzimana et al.

Summary: This study used SPI and trend analysis to find that the northern part of Burundi experienced high frequency of extreme drought events during the 1990s, leading to consecutive dry periods and significant differences compared to the South and mountainous regions. Additionally, teleconnection factors showed a link between dry events and sea surface temperature anomalies over the Indian Ocean during negative phases of the Indian Ocean Dipole and La Nina years.

International Comparisons of Poverty in South Asia

T. M. Tonmoy Islam et al.

Summary: This paper explores the methodological differences in constructing national consumption aggregates for estimating international poverty rates in South Asian countries, finding that using standardized consumption aggregates can significantly reduce international poverty rates. Comparing standardized and nonstandardized monetary welfare indicators with other nonmonetary indicators suggests that the latter are more consistent with standardized consumption aggregates.
