“…The trend of warming is threatening the climate system, terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and socio-economic development, resulting in the increase of the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events, loss of biodiversity and protected areas, and human morbidity and mortality (Sun et al, 2014;Perkins-Kirkpatrick and Lewis, 2020). Long-term temperature datasets have become the basis for accurate assessment of global or local warming and its impacts, especially heat waves and their effects on health (Doutreloup et al, 2022;Fang et al, 2022). Previous studies on extreme heat mostly use near-surface air temperature directly based on observations from meteorological stations or numerical climate sim-ulations (Mazdiyasni et al, 2017;Dong et al, 2021;Fischer et al, 2021), but the intensity of air temperature is usually not equivalent to the human body's response to the thermal environment.…”
