Extreme heat events are frequent in the Beijing&ndash:Tianjin&ndash:Hebei (BTH) region due to global warming and accelerated urbanization. While previous studies have analyzed the trend of extreme heat events in the Beijing&ndash:Tianjin&ndash:Hebei (BTH) region, the interdecadal changes of these events remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the interdecadal temporal and spatial characteristics of summer extreme heat events in the BTH region using daily mean and maximum temperature datasets from 174 stations over the period 1979&ndash:2020. The results are shown as follows: (1) From 1979 to 2020, extreme heat events showed an overall upward trend in the BTH region. There were similarities in the changes in the extreme maximum temperature (TXx) and the number of high-temperature days (Htd) between different generations, and both were low until the mid-1990s. (2) In terms of the spatial pattern, TXx and Htd both showed the spatial distribution characteristics of being high in the south and low in the north. Extreme heat events in the BTH region were mainly concentrated in Beijing City, Tianjin City, and the eastern region of Hebei, and the TXx increase in most areas reached 1.5&ndash:2.0 °:C. (3) The number of high-temperature days (Htd) increased significantly in the background of global warming, especially in Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang Cities. (4) Extreme heat events in the BTH region mainly occurred in June and July, and the interdecadal changes showed a decreasing trend in June and an increasing trend in July. A high proportion of Htd was concentrated in Northern Hebei Province in July.
