warmings
Gradual heat buildups
Warmings is the plural of warming, the act or process of making something warmer or becoming warmer.
Most often encountered in compound forms: global warmings when referring to multiple instances or theories, house warmings as variant spelling of housewarming parties.
The standalone plural is uncommon since warming typically functions as an uncountable noun describing a gradual process.
