Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue was inspired by the need to group experts on climate variability and extreme events in a special volume. Global climate change is a reality, and severe rainfall and maximum air temperature occurrences have become more common in recent decades. Topics such as heat and cold waves, severe rainfall events, urban heat islands, floods, human thermal discomfort, and their geographical and temporal variability are among the most pressing modern societal concerns. Combining this issue with the manner in which population growth has occurred, most notably in urban expansion and pressure on rural and natural areas, the resulting climate changes, which are sensitive to society, can be verified by employing scientific analytical techniques and processes, such as computer modeling, field measurements, and institutional practices, to minimize these impacts and strengthen the useful database for integrated planning.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
