“…The increased contiguous areas affected by SLDDH events could cause dramatic losses of agricultural production and populations in highly populated and agricultural regions (He et al, 2022;Zscheischler and Fischer, 2020), such as eastern China. A potential consequence of this fast-increasing frequency and spatial expansion of persistent DH events is a growing threat to food production and the electricity supply (Kim et al, 2022). In addition, more frequent and widespread large-scale SLDDH events may aggravate the risk of tree mortality and wildfires (Anderegg et al, 2013;Zscheischler et al, 2018), leading to an increase in the occurrence of sequential fire and dust extremes (Yu and Ginoux, 2022).…”

Abstract. Compound dry and hot events can cause aggregated damage compared with isolated hazards. Although increasing attention has been paid to compound dry and hot events, the persistence of such hazards is rarely investigated. Moreover, little attention has been paid to the simultaneous evolution process of such hazards in space and time. Based on observations during 1961–2014, the spatiotemporal characteristics of compound long-duration dry and hot (LDDH) events in China during the summer season are investigated on both a grid basis and a 3D event basis. Grid-scale LDDH events mainly occur in eastern China, especially over northeastern areas. Most regions have experienced a pronounced increase in the likelihood of LDDH events, which is dominated by increasing temperatures. From a 3D perspective, 146 spatiotemporal LDDH (SLDDH) events are detected and grouped into 9 spatial patterns. Over time, there is a significant increase in the frequency and spatial extent of SLDDH events. Consistent with the grid-scale LDDH events, hotspots of SLDDH events mainly occur in northern China, such as the Northeast China, North China and Qinghai clusters, which are accompanied by a high occurrence frequency and large affected areas greater than 300 000 km2.

In this study, we investigated recent changes in frequency, intensity, and duration of heat waves and cold waves in western Iran, a semi-arid region where agricultural activities represent the major contribution to the region’s economy. Our results show that heat waves have become significantly more frequent, longer, and more intense since the end of the 20th century, while cold waves have behaved in the inverse way. Through a detailed synoptic analysis, we found that the action centers derived from the expansion of the Azores high pressure over the Arabian Desert and the Iranian plateau were mainly responsible for all heat waves. However, cold waves responded to 4 different patterns, of which the Siberian high pressure was the main atmospheric configuration leading to the most intense and persistent events.
