| 479 | City of Sydney | 31114 | Australia | Sydney | C40 | 2014 | More intense heat waves | Serious | Current | Impact Buildings, Water, Waste, Transport, Energy, Human Health. The CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology's 2013 State of the Climate report shows that air and ocean temperatures across Australia are now, on average, almost a degree Celsius warmer than they were in 1910, with most of the warming occurring since 1950. This warming has seen Australia experiencing more warm weather and extreme heat, and fewer cool extremes. There has been an increase in extreme fire weather, and a longer fire season, across large parts of Australia. Heatwaves are the natural disaster with highest number of deaths in Australia as demonstrated by the State of Australian Cities http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/infrastructure/pab/soac/. | (-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°) | (-25.274398°, 133.775136°) |

Therefore days of frost, days with minimum temperatures below 0ºC and cold waves will occur with less frequency and intensity. | (41.1579438°, -8.6291053°) | (39.399872°, -8.224454°) | |
| 488 | Comune di Venezia | 36254 | Italy | Venice | C40 | 2014 | More intense heat waves | Serious | Current | vulnerability assessment due to this hazard will be made while drafting the Climate Plan (including mitigation and adaptation to the climate change).

| 489 | Ciudad de Mendoza | 50357 | Argentina | Mendoza | 2014 | Increased urban heat island effect | Less serious | Short-term | The hydric emergency added to stationery heat waves, has put the centenary artificial irrigation system into risk which holds up the trees that accompanies the human tissue. Consequently, the grove that protects the urban fabric of streets from the warming by solar radiation, can affect in the future, its capacity of reducing the environmental urban temperature. | (-32.890183°, -68.8440498°) | (-38.416097°, -63.616672°) | |

| 496 | District of Columbia | 31090 | USA | Washington DC | C40 | 2014 | More frequent heat waves | Serious | Current | An unrivalled flurry of summer heat records have been set since 2010: * The hottest two summers on record (2010 hottest and 2011 second hottest)* Two of the top four hottest Junes on record (2010-warmest and 2011-tied for 3rd warmest with 1943) * Hottest June day and tie for second hottest June day (6/29/2012 at 104, and 2010 at 102 tied with June 9, 1874) * Hottest two Julys (2011 and 2010) * Hottest month (July 2011) * Most 90+ degree days in a month (July 2011, 25 days) * Earliest 100-degree reading in a day (July 6 2010, before noon) * Longest uninterrupted stretch of temperatures above 100 (July 6, 2010, 7 hours) * Longest uninterrupted stretch of temperatures above 80 (July 21 to 24, 2011 - over four days) * Most and second most nights above 80 degrees (7 in 2011 and 4 in 2010) * Warmest low temperature (84 on July 23 and 24, 2011 tied with July 16, 1983) * Hottest days so early (102 on June 9, 2011, tied with June 9, 1874) and late (99 on September 24, 2010) in the season. With such summer heat records, we anticipate 1) human health impact of an increase in morbidity and mortality within at-risk populations from extreme heat. 2) Decrease in energy system reliability in extreme weather events due to increased peak energy demand in extreme temperature events. 3) increased cooling loads (buildings) | (38.9071923°, -77.0368707°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) |
