Heat wave is one of the most exasperating and disturbing phenomenon around the world, particularly it is taking the deadliest frame in South Asian regions. This year 2024 warm waves are breaking all the records of past outperforming the temperature 40 degrees Celsius remaining for over a month in those specific locales. The passing toll has been raised due to warm stroke in Philippines’, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan.
A heat wave is a delayed unusually tall temperature, more than typical greatest temperature that happens amid the summer season in a specific locale of a country.
Generally heat waves are caused for moodampness ,catching warm discuss and anticipating cooler discuss from moving in. This marvel has presently been quickened by climate alter, deforestation, outflow of green house gasses for mechanical movement. For a few past few a long time the south Asian locale has been persistently stricken by warm waves since of the deficiently sum of forestland.
Based on the Bangladesh Meteorological Division (BMD) information source dated 21 April 2024, extreme to exceptionally extreme, warm wave was clearing a few locale of the nation and mild-moderate warm wave was clearing over most of the areas of the nation. BDRCS figure observing report demonstrates most extreme temperatures surpassing to 38 degree Celsius, with the warm file outperforming 38 for two or more up and coming days..

In the Philippines, the analysts analyzed a 15-day period of warm at the conclusion of April. In spite of the fact that this is as a rule the most sultry time of year for the archipelago, the analysts found that an occasion of this greatness would not have happened without the impact of climate change—which made this specific warm wave 1.2 degrees C more smoking. There was moreover a discernable affect from this year, which included another 0.2 degree C.The Government of phillipines has announced to near the schools down for this dangerous warm waves for 1 week. Numerous Understudies felt tipsiness and moreover swooned whereas doing their classes. On 29 april Benjo Basas,the chairperson of Teachers’ Nobility Coaliton said “We as of now have reports of Tall blood weight and discombobulation and swooning for understudies and instructors in the past days.”
A submerged city is visible due to excessive heat exposure in philippines.
The country’s Climate Office said the warm Index-the genuine temperature felt by the body to incorporate relative humidity-is anticipated to stay at a record 45 degree Celsius ,in the extend which it classes as “dangerous” as conditions can trigger heatstroke from drawn out presentation to heat.
Scientists are saying that the hear wave is getting worse day by say in the Philippines and other parts of the world for human initiated climate change.
The circumstance is alarming in Gaza strip for warm waves. Almost 1.4 millions of individuals are uprooted from Gaza strip due to the dangers of airstrike of IDF.Over 36000 are murdered in this Israel-Palestine struggle begun from October 7th.People are taking shield in Rafah passage having no benefits of power, drinking water and sufficient sum of Food.Famine has as of now happened in Gaza.People are starvng to passing and this warm wave in Palestine presently has included to their sufferings.People are as of now biting the dust since of lack of healthy sustenance and if this warm wave would tenaciously clearing over Gaza more passings would occur.
Scientists are saying that the west Asia counting Lebanon,Jordan,Syria,Palestine are enduring from warm wave this year .The nations of West asia never confronted this kind of hot climate cause there climate condition is comparative to European countries.But this year the temperature of those countries has risen upto 40-42 degree Celsius breaking all the records of Past.
Amid this war circumstance in Gaza the condition of the outcasts is getting more regrettable day by day.
Scientists announced the cause of this Warm waves in West Asia is too the human initiated Climate alter.
In the south asian locale counting Bangladesh,India,Pakistan,Burma warm waves have been strking for the final few a long time. One of the most noticeable reason for delayed warm waves is evacuating of trees and woodlands in the title of improvement. Particularly in Bangladesh,for street and Interstate developments has caused a enormous sum of evacuating trees each year .
Only 11% forestland stay in Bangladesh now.But Concurring to researchers atleast 25% forestland is fundamental for any nation to keep up environmental balance.uprooting of trees at arbitrary increments the sum of CO2 in the discuss which causes worldwide warming.
The same scenario is for other south Asian countries like India,Pakistan,Burma.Scientists have analyzed that 1.2% of Asian forests are being destroyed annually so the main reason for the heat waves is destroying the forests . Another research said that rapid industrialization has also a great impact in Global warming.They emit C02 in the atmosphere and it causes Greenhouse effect.Thus it increases temperature.
If this unplaaned urbanization and rapid industrialization continues to happen this way in the upcoming year world would face the drastic form of heat waves.The temperature might surpass 50 degree Celsius in south Asian region and other countries would suffer from heat waves too.
So its high time to restore the forests and plant trees to save the planet from the dangerous frames of heat waves and climate change.Moreover,Planned and eco friendly urbanization also industrialization are also needed to prevent Global warming.If temperature is going to rise in this way many countries will turn into desert soon.
