Changes in heat stress considering temperature, humidity, and wind over East Asia under <scp>RCP8</scp> .5 and <scp>SSP5</scp> ?8.5 scenarios

The net effective temperature (NET), an index that includes the combined effects of temperature, humidity, and wind, was used along with to assess impacts climate change on heat-stress perception in East Asia, one regions considered most vulnerable heat stress. need for dynamic downscaling has been emphasized because regional do not follow global levels linearly. In this study, daily maximums calculated from three-hourly data downscaled by five different Regional Climate Models four Coupled General Circulation participating Coordinated Downscaling Experiment-East Asia phase 2 were utilized. To account fact human beings acclimate their environments, 95th percentile maximum NET average boreal summer temperatures/NETs. performance models assessed first, which showed reproduced current well. Future projections revealed increase both over entire domain RCP8.5 SSP5-8.5 scenarios. stress (NET) slightly larger than itself, up 7°C/10°C 8°C/11°C RCP8.5/SSP5-8.5 respectively. overall increases projected be higher latitudes, while frequency extremes predicted already southern part domain.
