Urban cities in India and Pakistan are at risk of experiencing heat waves so intense that residents may not be able to reside in those cities.
What are the details? According to United States think-tank McKinsey Global Institute, urban areas in parts of India and Pakistan may be the first to experience heat waves that exceed the survivability threshold for a healthy human being. What did the report say? According to the report, which used year-long, cross disciplinary research, lethal heat waves are expected to hit the subcontinent in the next three decades and these could result in record-high temperatures that exceed the survivability threshold of human beings. What else? The study also claimed that small regions around the world were projected to experience a more than 60 per cent annual chance of such a heatwave by 2050, which will eventually affect the systems in place that would otherwise have mitigated a crisis. According to the McKinley Global Institute, the definition of a heatwave is a three-day period with average daily maximum wet-bulb temperatures exceeding 34 degrees Celsius. Presently, these conditions prevail along the area on the Pakistan-India border every year. Keep up to date with more news at ProperGaanda: Iranian supreme leader: Trump is a “clown”
