Studies from India and Pakistan qualified heatwaves based on a direct temperature threshold, i.e., daily maximum temperature ranged between 40 to 45°C without considering duration or periods.
“Studies from India and Pakistan qualified heatwaves based on a direct temperature threshold, i.e., the daily maximum temperature ranged between 40 to 45 • C without considering duration or periods [34,36].”
From Heatwaves in South Asia: Characterization, Consequences on Human Health, and Adaptation Strategies (2022) · cites this paper as [34]
An increase in heatwave conditions in the earlier March-April period has been observed in recent decades over South Asia.
“While heatwaves are not uncommon in this part of the world during the later months of the pre-monsoon (MAMJ) season (Chaudhury et al 2000, Sharma and Mujumdar 2017, Zahid and Rasul 2012, India Meteorological Department 2016, 2017), an increase in such conditions in the earlier, March-April period is observed in recent decades (Zahid and Rasul 2012, Singh et al 2021).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
