Drought is one of the most critical environmental hazards for viability and productive development crops, especially in a climate change environment. To this end, drought assessment process paramount importance to make vulnerable agricultural regions more resilient. The primary aim paper an integrated through time space susceptible (in terms water availability limitations) agriculturally Greece Mediterranean, namely, Thessaly region. Supplementary objectives consist determination two extreme years wetness, so that we may reveal any potential climatological cycles/patterns from 1981 2020. Additionally, methodology includes annual seasonal analysis using widely used indices, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), consistent measurements are available across large study area, avoiding possible scarcity/deficiency data coming sparse land weather network. innovative element spatiotemporal multiple scales estimation SPI making use remotely sensed data, such as CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed with Station data). outcomes highlight area faced severe 1988 1989, which led moderate conditions, respectively. In contrast, extremely wet conditions were observed 2002–2003, whereas 2009–2010 experienced moderately conditions. central western part region tends suffer severity, at years. validity results has been confirmed by adoption R2 where index approaching 0.67 despite size pixels (5 × 5 km). context, mapping spatial variability permits targeted measures (e.g., precision farming) instead horizontal policies.

Air temperature and relative humidity can be considered as two essential meteorological parameters in the determination of heat stress. The index (HI) includes both them it is appropriate for determining thermal conditions different climates. We investigated potential changes HI Mediterranean basin using simulations from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) climate models under future scenarios (Shared Socio-economic Pathways: SSP2-4.5 SSP5-8.5) over period 2020–2099. Results reveal an important increase at end 21st century scenarios, with greater SSP5-8.5 scenario all basin.

Rapid urbanization and climate change intensify the urban heat island effect. This study quantifies UHI impact in Luxembourg’s Pro-Sud region explores sustainable mitigation strategies. In situ mobile measurements, EURO-CORDEX regional projections (RCP4.5), FITNAH-3D model were used considering also future building developments. The results reveal a significant effect, with substantial temperature thermal stress level differences between rural areas. Regional indicate marked intensification under scenarios. simulations show increased levels, especially densely built areas, highlight green infrastructure’s importance mitigating effects. Recommendations for spatial unit-specific measures specifically vegetation, unsealing, optimized design planning are provided. Our research emphasizes urgent need tailored planning, adaptation, strategies to enhance resilience address stress.
