Hot and dry extremes have co‐occurred with global warming, causing worse threats than single climate extremes. We analyse the compound hot and dry day (CHDD) and population exposure (Epop) across China based on observations and 11 global climate models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison P...
