Research on heat waves (periods of excessively hot weather, which may beaccompanied by high humidity) is a newly emerging research topic within thefield of climate change research with high relevance for the whole of society.In this study, we analyzed the rapidly growing scientific literature dealingwith heat waves. No summarizing overview has been published on this literaturehitherto. We developed a suitable search query to retrieve the relevantliterature covered by the Web of Science (WoS) as complete as possible and toexclude irrelevant literature (n = 8,011 papers). The time-evolution of thepublications shows that research dealing with heat waves is a highly dynamicresearch topic, doubling within about 5 years. An analysis of the thematiccontent reveals the most severe heat wave events within the recent decades(1995 and 2003), the cities and countries/regions affected (United States,Europe, and Australia), and the ecological and medical impacts (drought, urbanheat islands, excess hospital admissions, and mortality). Risk estimation andfuture strategies for adaptation to hot weather are major political issues. Weidentified 104 citation classics which include fundamental early works ofresearch on heat waves and more recent works (which are characterized by arelatively strong connection to climate change).
