ABSTRACT Warming and drying meteorological conditions associated with anthropogenic climate change have increased the risk of extreme heat wildfire in many regions around world. Extreme smoke fine particulate matter (smoke PM 2.5 ) individually contribute to substantial global morbidity mortality burdens, while emerging evidence suggests that co‐occurring events mayssssssssss synergistic impacts exacerbate adverse health outcomes. Despite potential for a high societal burden, these are an underexplored climate‐related hazard. To quantify co‐occurrence smoke, we combined daily estimates index (a combination temperature relative humidity) over western United States document spatiotemporal patterns frequency, duration intensity individual from 2006 2020. We found 130 million person‐days exposure exceedances 15‐year study period. These were most often late summer when temporal distributions typically coincide, spatially northern California Montana where overlap. best our knowledge, this presents largest database population‐level events. also show specific definitions can substantially affect both number spatial distribution events, implications future epidemiological or studies.
