The impact of climate change is increasingly felt in cities, where extreme weather events such as prolonged heat waves are exacerbated by the urban heat island effect. With more than 55% of the world's population residing in cities, it has become crucial to address the climatic challenges in urban areas.

The weather files engineers use to design buildings are built from decades of historical measurements. The data can be more than 30 years old. But a building designed today is expected to perform well in 2080, and ideally beyond. Researchers from Norway and Portugal have now released future meteorological data covering more than 5,000 European locations. The files are reliable projections of Europe's future climate, down to specific time periods and places. The entire dataset is freely available at climatedataforbuildings.eu.

Higher temperatures and more frequent and intense heat waves are inevitable as the UK climate warms. High indoor summertime temperatures result in diminished health and well-being and can be fatal, especially for people with underlying health problems. In 2026 the Climate Change Committee elevated the ‘Risks to buildings and communities from heat’ into the highest risk category - ‘Critical Action needed’.
