TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess future changes in flood, heat-waves (HW), and drought impacts for all 571 European cities in the Urban Audit database using a consistent approach, and find that HW days increase across all cities, but especially in southern Europe, whilst the greatest HW temperature increases are expected in central European cities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate continental-average changes in the magnitude and frequency of extreme hourly and daily rainfall observations from Australia over the years 1990-2013 and 1966-1989 and show that increases in daily rainfall extremes are consistent with CC scaling, but are within the range of natural variability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined evidence from observational, theoretical and modelling studies for the intensification of these rainfall extremes, the drivers and the impact on flash flooding and concluded that short-duration and long-duration (>1 day) rainfall extremes are intensifying with warming at a rate consistent with the increase in atmospheric moisture.

TL;DR: In this article, concurrent drought and heatwave events (CONDH) in summer across eastern China (EC) for 1962-2015 were investigated and it was shown that these events are more frequent in the North and South of EC (>20 events during 1962-15) and less frequent in central region.

TL;DR: The INTENSE project as mentioned in this paper is addressing this global challenge by undertaking a data collection initiative that is coupled with advances in high-resolution climate modelling to better understand key processes and likely future change.
