Understanding the Scorching Heat
Many regions are experiencing unprecedented heatwaves with temperatures reaching 36-42°C (97-107°F), often feeling even hotter due to humidity. This extreme weather is primarily caused by:
- Global Warming: Increased greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat
- Urban Heat Islands: Concrete and asphalt absorbing and radiating heat
- Deforestation: Reduced tree cover leading to less shade and evaporation
- Delayed Monsoons: Climate change disrupting traditional weather patterns
