We study the dependence of the intensity of the urban heat island (UHI) on urban geometry. UHI is a urban climate phenomenon referring to the air temperature difference between rural and urban areas. We use multi-year data for urban-rural…
Numerical simulation is a powerful tool for assessing the causes of an Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect or quantifying the impact of mitigation solutions on outdoor and indoor thermal comfort. For that purpose, several models have been…
In today's highly urbanized environment, the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon is increasingly prevalent where surface temperatures in urbanized areas are found to be much higher than surrounding rural areas. Excessive levels of heat…
The rising air temperature caused by Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect has become a problem for Singapore, it not only affects the thermal comfort of outdoor microclimate environment, but also increases the cooling energy consumption of…
The outdoor micro-climate caused by the presence of buildings can significantly differ from that around weather stations located outside of urban areas. However, the latter is often used to design buildings and size building systems. This…
As urbanization and climate change progress, urban heat becomes a priority for climate adaptation efforts. High temperatures concentrated in urban heat can drive increased risk of heat-related death and illness as well as increased energy…

City-scale outdoor thermal comfort diagnostics are essential for understanding actual heat stress. However, previous research primarily focused on the street scale. Here, we present the WRF-UCM-SOLWEIG framework to achieve fine-grained…
In rapidly urbanizing regions, designing climate-responsive urban forms is crucial for sustainable development, especially in dry arid-climates where urban morphology has a significant impact on energy consumption and environmental…
Urban warming is evident in numerous cities. On especially hot days, building surfaces warm up, leading to buoyancy-driven flows adjacent to these surfaces. The dynamics of the flow structures are largely influenced by the interplay between…
Urban heat island (UHI) in conjunction with heatwave (HW) leads to exacerbation of thermal stress in urban areas. Prior research on UHI and HW has predominantly concentrated on examining the thermal conditions at the surface and…
Urban areas are known for their complex atmospheric environments, with the building morphology having a significant impact on local climate patterns, air quality, and overall urban microclimate. Understanding the heat transport and fluid…
In recent years, the frequency of extreme weather events on Earth has increased significantly. This phenomenon is driven by the intensification of the greenhouse effect caused by anthropogenic activities, leading to temperature variations…
Extreme heat is a growing threat to both individual livelihoods and broader economies, killing a growing number of people each year as temperatures rise in many parts of the world and limiting productivity. Many studies document the link…
