These countries will face terrible heat and heatwave [TKB World]

Heatwave won’t just bring drought. Rather, there is a direct impact on socio-economic development, population, energy and health facilities. That’s why the scientists of England have found out that which are the countries in future, where the effect of heatwave will be maximum? So that security measures can be taken in advance.

The direct and biggest impact of the heatwave will be on Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea and Central America. Beijing and Central Europe will also be affected. Large population of these countries will have to bear the loss of heatwave. Health will deteriorate. People will die till death.

Researchers have written in their study that countries are generally prepared for the disasters they have endured. But the amount of heatwave will increase suddenly. No country is ready for this. Those who make policies should prepare for this. Because the changing climate caused by humans is causing harm.

136 regions of the world have been covered in this study. Out of this, 31 percent of the area is such, where extreme heatwave will occur. Because the temperature at these places has been increasing continuously for the last 60 years. Be it the summer season or the winter season. Average temperature is rising.

Vicky Thomson, a climate scientist at the University of Bristol in England, says that the amount and intensity of heatwaves are increasing. We have to be ready for this. We have identified some areas, where there will be terrible heat in future. Because there population is increasing rapidly. High temperature will not only kill humans. Rather, it will affect everyday life as well. There will be loss to agriculture. The incidents of fire in the forests will increase rapidly. But they can be reduced. By reducing the working hours of shift workers in cities. By creating cool living spaces in urban areas.

Developing countries have to follow very strict rules. Because the effect of rising temperature will be more in those countries. Preparation is the only way to escape. More heatwaves increase the number of heat-related deaths. Every year millions of people are killed by heatwaves.

This study of scientists has been published in the journal Nature Communications. In which it has been told that no country will be saved from the heatwave. But if some preparation is done in advance, success can be achieved. People will get some relief.
