abstract = {Changes in the frequency and intensity of heat waves have
shown substantial negative impacts on public health. At the
same time, climate change towards increasing air
temperatures throughout Europe will foster such extreme
events, leading to the population being more exposed to them
and societies becoming more vulnerable. Based on two climate
change scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5
and 8.5) we analysed the frequency and intensity of heat
waves for three capital cities in Europe representing a
North–South transect (London, Luxembourg, Rome). We used
indices proposed by the Expert Team on Sector-Specific
Climate Indices of the World Meteorological Organization to
analyze the number of heat waves, the number of days that
contribute to heat waves, the length of the longest heat
waves, as well as the mean temperature during heat waves.
The threshold for the definition of heat waves is calculated
based on a reference period of 30 years for each of the
three cities, allowing for a direct comparison of the
projected changes between the cities. Changes in the
projected air temperature between a reference period
(1971–2000) and three future periods (2001–2030 near
future, 2031–2060 middle future, and 2061–2090 far
future) are statistically significant for all three cities
and both emission scenarios. Considerable similarities could
be identified for the different heat wave indices. This
directly affects the risk of the exposed population and
might also negatively influence food security and water
supply.},
