The aim of this paper is to summarise what is known about human response to heat and to use this knowledge to provide guidance on how to maintain the health, comfort and performance of people in heat waves. The use of power and especially water are critical in providing cooling. A practica...
The most common definition for a heat wave is given by exceeding the trigger, or threshold, for maximum and/or minimum temperatures. Future scenarios of climate change state that heat waves will become more intense and frequent. Due to this, the implementation of prevention plans to reduce the...
According to the center, the country is set to see the return of scorching heatwaves for the rest of this month and August in regions including north China and southwest China. An electrical engineer works on an overhead power line in Chaoyang City, northeast China's Liaoning Province, June...
Such issue is particularly important in cities as Rome, where it is possible to experience intense heat stress conditions especially when heat waves intensify this phenomenon. Therefore this study wants to examine different mitigation strategies of the urban microclimate by taking into consideration the ...
Far infrared heat waves fall on the electromagnetic spectrum as “ionizing.” That means these waves convert molecules or atoms into ions. Particles are ionized by removing one or more of their electrons. That means far infrared heat can convert positively charged particles, like the ones that co...
We study heat waves with high impact on human health in Europe.Strong correlations are found between heat wave amplitude and mortality excess.A quantile–quantile adjustment is applied to correct biases in RCMs.Projections suggest increases in heat wave frequency, duration and amplitude.Projections ind...
Heatwaves have a huge impact on our physical and mental health. Doctors usually dread them, as emergency rooms quickly fill up with patients suffering from dehydration, delirium and fainting. Recent studies suggest at least a 10% rise in hospital emergen

recently, extreme heat was blamed for killing more than 100 people in India. Daytime temperature rose to more than 45 degrees Celsius in some areas. On June 11th, the temperature in one desert town hit 51 degrees. Experts say the total heat of a hot day or several days can affect health...
