Fig. 1: Humid heatwaves over land in the global tropics and subtropics, and the seasonality of rainfall and humid heatwaves.
From: Daily rainfall variability controls humid heatwaves in the global tropics and subtropics
a The frequency of heatwaves in each grid cell expressed as the number per decade. b The median duration of heatwaves in each grid cell. c Heatwave intensity in each grid cell, represented by the 95th percentile (p95) of daily mean wet-bulb temperature (Twb) on heatwave days. d The two-month period during a calendar year in which most heatwaves occur. e The two-month period during a calendar year in which the highest rainfall occurs in GPM-IMERG (2001 to 2022). f The number of months between the month of peak rainfall and the month of peak heatwave occurrence. Regions with no heatwaves are shaded grey.
