Drought, a recurring natural phenomenon in South Asia's monsoon climate, presents challenges in delineating its spatiotemporal patterns within complex topographies. This study investigated the impact of the orographic barrier in the rice‐dominated agricultural region of northeastern India and Bangladesh on drought characteristics during 1951–2020, employing the relative Standardized Precipitation Index (rSPI) and relative Stan...

Extreme thermal conditions have been known for a long time as is evidenced by the oldest preserved historical accounts referring to weather. However, direct data, that is, air temperature measurements, which began in Europe in the 17th century, are the only reliable source of information. They provide insight into how climate evolved over the characteristic period of the climate timeline known as the Little Ice Age. This study...

Contemporary climate warming is a key problem faced not only by scientists, but also all by humanity because, as is shown by the experience of recent years, it has multiple environmental, economic and biometeorological implications. In this paper, the authors identify the magnitude of annual and seasonal temperature changes in Europe and its immediate surroundings on the basis of data from 210 weather stations from 1951 to 202...
