  • Predictability of temperature extremes in multi-annual forecasts

    Open AccessEirini Tsartsali, Stephen Yeager et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Temperature extreme events, associated with major impacts on various socioeconomic sectors, exhibit trends related to global warming and undergo important variability across different timescales. While attention has been given to seasonal and decadal predictions, there is growing interest in exploring the potential for skillful predictions also at interannual timescales. In the current study, we assess the skill of the Community Earth System Mode…

  • Decadal predictions outperform climate projections in forecasting Mediterranean wintertime precipitation

    Open AccessDario Nicolì, Silvio Gualdi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    The Mediterranean region is highly sensitive to climate change, having experienced an intense warming and drying trend in recent decades. In the context of decision-making processes, there is growing interest in understanding the near-term climate evolution of this region. Climate change projections consistently indicate that Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region will undergo significantly drier conditions in the latter half of the 21st ce…

  • Nighttime heat waves in the Euro-Mediterranean region

    Open AccessVerónica Torralba, Stefano Materia et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The combined effect of above-normal nighttime temperatures with high humidity poses a high risk to human health by impeding the body’s recovery from daytime heat exposure. Seasonal predictions of nighttime heat waves (NHWs) can help to better anticipate these episodes and reduce their social and economic impacts. However, the ability of the seasonal forecast systems to predict NHWs has not been explored yet. This work investigates the potential o…

  • BlueHealth

    Open AccessJames Grellier, Mathew P White et al.ARTICLEBMJ Open2017

    INTRODUCTION: Proximity and access to water have long been central to human culture and accordingly deliver countless societal benefits. Over 200 million people live on Europe's coastline, and aquatic environments are the top recreational destination in the region. In terms of public health, interactions with 'blue space' (eg, coasts, rivers, lakes) are often considered solely in terms of risk (eg, drowning, microbial pollution). Exposure to blue…

  • The role of humidity in determining scenarios of perceived temperature extremes in Europe

    Open AccessEnrico Scoccimarro, Pier Giuseppe Fogli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    An increase of the 2 m temperature over Europe is expected within the current century. In order to consider health impacts, it is important to evaluate the combined effect of temperature and humidity on the human body. To achieve this, projections of a basic index-the humidex-representative of the perceived temperature, under different scenarios and periods, have been investigated. The simultaneous occurrence of observed extreme temperature event…

  • Atlantic influence on spring snowfall over the Alps in the past 150 years

    Open AccessMatteo Zampieri, Enrico Scoccimarro et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Global warming is believed to be responsible for the reduction of snow amount and duration over the Alps. In fact, a rapid shortening of the snowy season has been measured and perceived by ecosystems and society in the past 30 years, despite the large year-to-year variability. This trend is projected to continue during the 21st century in the climate change scenarios with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. Superimposed on the long-term tre…
