Forwarded from VK IAS Geography current Affairs for UPSC
✅Gs-1 : Geography- Heatwaves and climate change
🅾️ This article talks about Factors for this extreme climate event( read this article)
⚜️How do heat waves occur? How does air mass contribute to heat waves?
⚜️Early warning for heatwaves sees huge improvement-Click here
🅾️The extreme heat in parts of India in April is attributed to climate change. Studies indicate high temperatures were 30-45 times more likely due to climate change. Without climate change, such temperatures are unlikely. World Weather Attribution research connects early summer heatwaves to climate change, with 2022 and 2023 seeing significant April heat. Heatwaves are defined by high temperatures, with IMD setting a 40-47°C threshold. Heatwaves occur when temperatures are at least 5-6°C above normal, severe if 7°C higher. Data on heat-related deaths is sparse, but NCRB and Health Ministry reported significant fatalities in 2022 and early 2023.
