The Ferocity of Recently Occurring Heat Waves Across the Globe and Its Potential Impact on Global Manufacturing.

Abstract

Extreme heat waves, which can last for days and be accompanied by high humidity, are a relatively new area of climate change research with important societal and economic repercussions. The severity of a natural hazard and the degree to which people are susceptible determine the risk associated with an effect of climate change. All throughout the world, recent heat waves have been examined for their severity in this research. Previous research failed to successfully compare heat wave intensity across continents and throughout time. Many catastrophic heat wave incidents have posed serious threats to public health in recent decades. Since both the frequency and intensity of heat waves are predicted to increase, it is crucial to evaluate the relationship between heat waves and health markers that could be employed in early warning systems to direct public health response. Forecasts for future climate change indicate an increase of over 4 degrees Celsius in annual average temperatures. As the average temperature of the Earth has increased, so too have the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves in various parts of the world. There have been increasing reports of heat-related deaths as average temperatures and heat wave intensity have risen. The study's goal was to learn about the global impacts of recent heat waves. We did a cross-sectional analysis using data from 200 participants. Important results were gleaned from the survey. If these results hold up, they might be useful in putting up plans to deal with global warming as part of a larger climate change effort.
