Over time, they will be more.
From of climate change, some inhabited place on Earth has already become life-threatening.
It occurred a decade earlier than expected by climate models, say the researchers from Britain and the United States in an article published in the Science Advances.
the researchers analyzed data from wet thermometers weather stations in Pakistan, India, USA, UAE and other countries. These thermometers take into account not only the temperature but the humidity.
it is Known that the indices of the wet-bulb thermometer 35 TV and later the sweat is not able to cool the human body. But dangerous to health may be less temperature. For example, during the heat wave of 2003 in Europe killed thousands of people. Indicators of the wet-bulb thermometer was not reached and 28 TV.
the Analysis showed that the frequency of temperatures in the range of 27-35 TV has doubled since 1979. The main increase was seen in the Persian Gulf, India, Pakistan and South West part of North America. In the cities RAS al Khaimah (UAE) and Jacobabad (Pakistan) indicators of the humid thermometer of repeatedly crossing the “deadly” threshold.
Scientists predict that continued climate change extreme heat will affect large areas of Pakistan, Gulf countries and India.
