Extreme heat events are periods of excessively high temperatures that can pose serious health risks to people and the environment. These events are often defined as days when temperatures exceed a certain threshold, which can vary by region. They can lead to heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and can also exacerbate existing health conditions. These heat events are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, which is driven by factors like greenhouse gas emissions. Urban areas, with their concrete and asphalt, can experience even higher temperatures, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect. Addressing extreme heat events requires public awareness and effective response strategies.
