About the Event

Heatwaves are extreme weather events characterized by prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, often accompanied by high humidity. These events can have profound impacts on both human and natural systems, making them a topic of significant concern. In recent years, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves have been on the rise, prompting us to conduct a survey, to better understand their impacts and raise awareness among the public. The reports aim to delve into the impacts of heatwaves, the importance of studying them, and the results of the survey conducted in 16 cities.
