The role of humidity in determining scenarios of perceived temperature extremes in Europe by Enrico Scoccimarro, Pier Giuseppe Fogli, Silvio Gualdi

“…The most significant increase of perceived extreme temperature conditions is found comparing the 2066–2095 projections to the 1976–2005 period; bearing in mind that changes in relative humidity may either amplify or offset the health effects of temperature, a less pronounced projected reduction of relative humidity in the north-eastern part of Europe, associated with extreme humidex events, makes northern Europe the most prone region to an increase of moderate to extreme values of perceived temperature. …”
