ABSTRACT In September 2024, the Yangtze River basin experienced a supremely extreme heatwave that broke historical records from at least 1961 and could have severe impact on outdoor health of school children. This paper provides timely analysis characteristics in its exposure to population aged 14 years below, causes led occurrence, as well future projections. regional average days reached 7.57 days, daily maximum temperature ( T max ) 31.53°C, both which are much higher than climatology exceed records. resulted high under, with provinces Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Jiangxi exposed more 100 million person‐days. The expansion South Asian High (SAH) Western Pacific Subtropical (WPSH) may directly contributed this heatwave. CMIP6 projections show frequency heatwaves similar 2024 will increase future.
