For planners, investors and policymakers, knowing when and where extreme heat will strike is crucial. Robust severity assessments is needed to offer a clearer view of potential impacts, yet heatwaves are complex and defined in many ways. This article presents a method from recent scientific research to measure severity and reveals how climate change is turning rare heatwaves into regular events.

Over $2 trillion in global infrastructure losses are expected by 2035 due to climate-related risks like floods, extreme heat, storms, and droughts. A new report from Callendar highlights outdated design standards as a key vulnerability across sectors including energy, transport, telecoms, water, and roads.

Data center failures during the 2022 UK heatwave exposed a critical flaw in how we design infrastructure: relying on outdated weather data. As climate change make heatwaves more severe and more frequent, extreme temperature assumptions fall short. Discover how ClimateVision, Callendar’s climate impact tool, empowers operators with cutting-edge climate projections,making it easier to build heat-resilient infrastructure, anywhere in the world.

Univariate bias-correction methods can distort multivariate indicators, such as heat indexes that combine temperature and humidity.
