According to the United Nations inter-government panel on climate change, heatwaves are becoming more common due to human-borne climate change.
The extreme hot weather will be more often – and will become even more intense – as the planet continues to heat up, it is said.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which is the United Nations season and climate agency, stated on Tuesday that human-inspired climate change meant “extreme heat is becoming more frequent and intense”.
In a statement, WMO said: “The effect of heat on human health in cities is more pronounced as a result of urban heat island effect.
“This is where the urban environment is quite hot compared to the surrounding rural areas, especially during the warm period, due to the abundance of paved surfaces, buildings, vehicles and heat sources.”
“This additional heat in cities increases heat stress and can increase mortality during the warm period,” the agency said.
