| Nature Verified
Abstract As the Earth continues to warm, humid heat extremes (HHEs) have emerged as a widely recognised threat to human health in equatorial Southeast Asia (SEA). While most studies have focused on climate trends, this study presents a comprehensive analysis of the synoptic and large-scale drivers of HHEs. On daily timescales, both the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and Kelvin waves are the leading modes of HHE variability.

1 Introduction Surface water flooding (also known as pluvial flooding) is defined as rainfall-generated water that pools on or flows over the ground surface, before it enters a major watercourse or drainage system (Falconer et al. 2009; Speight et al. 2021). This type of flooding is typically caused by intense convective weather events that produce high volumes of rainfall over localised regions, in short periods of time.

1 Introduction Approximately 90% of all natural hazards worldwide are water-related, with floods accounting for over half of these (Perera et al. 2019). Between 2001 and 2018, floods were responsible for almost 100,000 deaths and USD 500 billion in economic losses globally (EM-DAT 2019) and flooding is increasing in both frequency and severity due to ongoing global climate change (Allen et al. 2019). Accordingly, several billion dollars have been spent on flood mitigation measures (Perera et al.
