Review Description

Extreme temperature events (ETEs), both hot and cold, have received much attention in the literature because of their adverse impacts upon society, in particular human health. Under scenarios of climate change, substantial changes in the frequency and intensity of ETEs are projected. Here, we review literature from the last few years that have assessed recent changes and projected future ETEs, along with projected impacts on human health. Regarding the impacts on health, we pay particular attention to the many dimensions of uncertainty in making these assessments.
