Heat Waves and Its Mitigation Measures
Authors(1) :-Murali Kumar A heat wave is a period of excessively hot weather. Temperatures that people from a hotter climate consider normal, can be called a heat wave in a cooler area, if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that area. If more than 40°c temperature happen in the plain area and more than 30°c temperature in hilly regions in India induce the heat waves, but it is not the unique definition. It varies from one place to another, severe heat waves have caused catastrophic crop failures, thousands of deaths from Hyperthermia and affected the ecosystem of particular regions. Heat waves also induce an urban heat island due to unscientific urban infrastructure, lots of activities of people etc. Here, we have discussed how to minimize the heat waves and mitigate as an urban heat island through the methodology of secondary data and observations. Mitigation measures should be adopted for sustainable development.
