Nine articles reported the mortality of heat stress in India, whereas seven articles reported the morbidity. All the studies reported increased mortality due to extreme heat. Eight studies reported excess mortality, which ranged from 5.6% in a study in Varanasi to as high as 43.1 % in Ahmedabad...
Intensive irrigation in India has been demonstrated to decrease surface temperature, but the influence of irrigation on humidity and extreme moist heat stress is not well understood. Here we analysed a combination of in situ and satellite-based datasets and conducted meteorological model simulations to...
Fig. 1: Comparison of pre-monsoon (April–May) and monsoon (June–September) in India. Irrigation feedback on heat stress Previous model-driven studies1,3,12show that irrigation over the Indo-Gangetic Plain has the potential to decrease pre-monsoon dry heat by surface cooling and increase pre...

In our new insight, we discuss the implications of heat stress in India and the impact on business operations and energy and food demand
In humans, heat stress is known to cause higher blood pressure, extreme fatigue, and sleeping troubles. The risk of heat stress is highest outdoors, between noon and 4 p.m. But, alarmingly, in some cases staying indoors might be more dangerous. ...
Case studies on heat stress related perceptions in different industrial sectors in southern India V Dasu,JC Stephen,M Raj,... 被引量: 0发表: 2013年 Heat-related knowledge, perceptions, and barriers among oil spill cleanup responders Despite increased risk for heat-related illnesses (HRI) among ...
The hardest fix of all may be one that is also in some ways the simplest: educating people about the risks of heat, including those who are accustomed to living in hot places. Often, they are unaware of the early symptoms of heat stress or how high temperatures are especially dangerous...
Heat stress occurs at temperatures above 35°C (95°F) in high humidity, according to the International Labor Organization. Heat stroke can occur if body temperature rises above 40°C, with children, the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions most at risk. ...
Overall, more parts of India will suffer heat waves that last longer – possibly 30 days. Recent analysis by Verisk MapleCroft suggests that over the course of just one generation, the heat stress currently felt in the worst-hit states of Andra Pradesh and Telangana will be felt across most...
