Fig. 2: Spatial patterns of the intensity of CHUV stress events.

From: Expanding compound heat and ultraviolet radiation stress amplifies exposure risks for elderly populations

Fig. 2

The intensity is characterized by the combined average WBT and ultraviolet index (UVI) during (a) historical CHUV occurrences (1960–2022), and b projected CHUV events at the end of the 21st century (2070–2099) under a high-emission scenario (SSP585). Colors represent the bivariate combination of WBT (horizontal axis, from 30 °C to 40 °C) and UVI (vertical axis, from 12 to 16), as shown in the inset legend.
