Extreme Heat
And its
Temperature
Name: Yoxann Hernández
Introduction
Natural factors include variations in solar activity, atmospheric
circulation patterns, and El Niño events. Human-influenced
factors, such as greenhouse gas emissions, are also
contributing to the observed increase in the frequency,
intensity, and duration of extreme heat events.
The effects of extreme heat can be wide-ranging and include:
Heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke, heat exhaustion, and
heat cramps.
Increased mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations
such as older adults, young children, and people with chronic
health conditions.
Reduced labor productivity.
Damage to crops and livestock.
Increased wildfire risk.
Extreme heat is a serious issue that can have significant consequences for
human health, wildlife, and the environment. Heat waves, droughts, and
climate change can all contribute to extreme heat, which can cause a
range of health problems, from heat cramps and heat exhaustion to heat
stroke. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, young children,
pregnant women, and people with pre-existing medical conditions, are
particularly at risk. In addition to the health impacts, extreme heat can
also have economic consequences. Heat waves can lead to reduced
productivity and increased absenteeism, particularly in outdoor
industries such as agriculture and construction. Extreme heat can also lead
to increased energy demand for cooling, which can strain power grids
and lead to blackouts.
A Pressing Threat to Human Health and Well-
being
● Public health: Extreme heat poses a significant risk to
human health, particularly among vulnerable populations
such as older adults, young children, and those with
chronic health conditions. Heat-related illnesses such as
heatstroke, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps can lead to
hospitalization and even death.
● Infrastructure: Extreme heat can damage infrastructure,
including roads, bridges, and power grids. The expansion
and contraction of materials due to high temperatures
can cause cracks and other forms of deterioration.
● Economy: Extreme heat can disrupt economic activity.
Reduced labor productivity, increased energy demand,
and damage to crops and livestock can all have a
negative impact on economic growth.
● Environment: Extreme heat can have a detrimental
impact on the environment. Drought conditions often
accompany heatwaves, leading to water scarcity and
wildfires. Extreme heat can also harm sensitive
ecosystems, such as coral reefs.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: The most effective way to prevent extreme heat
in the long term is to reduce greenhousegas emissions.This can be achieved through
a variety of measures, such as transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving
energy efficiency, and reducing deforestation.
Promoting urban greening: Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to extreme
heat due to the urban heat island effect. Planting trees, creating green spaces, and
installing green roofs can help to cool urban areas.
Developingheat-resilient infrastructure: Buildings, roads, and other infrastructure
can be designed to be more heat-resilient. For example, buildings can be designed
with light-colored roofs and awnings to reflect heat.
Implementingheat warning systems: Heat warning systems can help people to be
aware of the risks of extreme heat and to take steps to protect themselves.
Educating the public about extreme heat: Public education campaigns can help
people to understand the risks of extreme heat and how to protect themselves.

HOW TO PREVENT EXTREME HEAT.
How to help prevent
extreme heat in schools
● Improve buildinginsulation and ventilation: This can help to
keep buildings cooler during hot weather.
● Plant trees and other shade-providing vegetation around
school buildings: This can help to block sunlight and reduce
heat absorption.
● Install light-colored roofs and awnings: This can help to
reflect sunlight away from buildings.
● Schedule outdoor activities for cooler times of the day: If
possible, avoid scheduling outdoor activities during the
hottest part of the day.
● Provide students with access to water and encourage them
to drink plenty of fluids: This can help to prevent
dehydration.
● Allow students to wear loose-fitting, lightweight
clothing: This can help to keep them cool.
● Create a heat emergency plan: This plan should include
procedures for responding to extreme heat events.

Wildlife can also be affected by extreme heat, particularly species that are
adapted to cooler temperatures. For example, some species of fish may die
off in large numbers during heat waves, while birds may be forced to
migrate earlier than usual. To prevent the negative effects of extreme heat,
individuals and communities can take steps such as staying hydrated,
avoiding outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, and
seeking out air-conditioned spaces when possible. Communities can also
implement heat warning systems and cooling centers to help vulnerable
populations stay safe during heat waves. In summary, extreme heat is a
serious issue that can have significant consequences for human health,
wildlife, and the environment. It is important to take steps to prevent the
negative effects of extreme heat, both as individuals and as communities.
By implementing heat mitigation strategies, we can protect vulnerable
populations and improve health outcomes during extreme heat events.
1. More frequent and severe extreme heat became projected due to
climate change.
2. Vulnerable populations, such as older adults, young children, and
people with chronic health conditions, felt the effects of extreme heat
disproportionately.
3. The impacts of extreme heat were mitigated through measures like
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, and
promoting urban greening.
4. Staying hydrated, staying cool, and being aware of the signs of heat-
related illness were considered important during extreme heat events.
5. Taking action to address extreme heat allowed the building of more
resilient communities and the protection of public health.
