Abstract: Based on daily temperatures data at 56 national meteorological stations in the Yangtze River Delta region during 1950 to 2014, the extreme heat events indices (extreme maximum temperature TXx, extreme minimum temperature TNn, high temperature days Htd and low temperature days Ltd) were calculated to explore the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of extreme heat events in the region of the Yangtze River Delta for the past 60 years with the aid of GIS spatial analysis technology and Mann-Kendall trend analysis method. Furthermore, their intrinsic relation with urbanization was also studied in this paper. The results showed that:(1) Extreme heat events indices of Yangtze River Delta were all characterized by a rising trend. The linear trend of extreme low temperature indices (TNn, Ltd) was more significant than that of extreme high temperature indices (TXx, Htd). In addition, trend of extreme heat events indices of cities with higher level of economy and urbanization was the most significant. (2) Extreme heat events indices were heterogeneously distributed in the region of the Yangtze River Delta. Multi-year average of extreme high temperature indices (TXx, Htd) was high in southern and western area while relative low in northern and eastern area in this region. For extreme low temperature indices, multi-year average for TNn descended from the central to the north and south on both sides. On the contrary, multi-year average for Ltd was gradually increasing from the central to the north and south on both sides. (3) The impact of urbanization on TXx was more important than TNn. From the decade of 1990-2000 to the decade of 2000-2010, the impact of urbanization on extreme heat events indices has been enhanced with a larger influence on northern cities rather than southern ones.

Key words: extreme heat events, Mann-Kendall trend analysis, urbanization, Yangtze River Delta
