New Heat wave Hotspots and Trends in India

New Heat wave Hotspots and Trends in India North-Western, Central, and further to south-central region of India are the new hotspot of intense Heatwave events over the past half-century, said a study which found an increase in deadly Indian heat waves in recent years. The study also highlights the need for developing effective heat action plans in the three heatwave hotspot regions with a focus on different vulnerabilities among the inhabitants. Heatwaves emerged as a deadly health ha

Heat waves & India’s Cooling Sector

Heat waves & India’s Cooling Sector The World Bank recently published the report "Climate Investment Opportunities in India's Cooling Sector." Highlights of the Report: Heatwave exposure: From 2030 onwards, more than 160 to 200 million people in India could be exposed to a lethal heat wave each year. Productivity is declining: Due to heat stress-related productivity decline, approximately 34 million Indians will lose their jobs. Demand for cooling

Heatwave

Heatwave In Mumbai, heatstroke recently claimed the lives of eleven people. The incident re-emphasizes the dangers associated with heat waves, whose frequency and intensity are predicted to increase due to climate change. The European Space Agency observed land surface temperatures in May 2022 that were close to 55 °C in various areas of northwest India and even reached 60 °C in certain places.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves In the Indian Antarctic outpost Maitri, scientists have discovered Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves, a type of plasma waves. These waves are crucial in the precipitation of killer electrons, which are dangerous for space-based equipment and instruments and constitute the radiation belt of planet Earth and have speeds close to the speed of light. The investigation can aid in understanding how energetic particles in the radiation belts affect
