Effects on Environment and Daily Life
The intense heat affects the ecology and daily life. There are tales of birds dying from the intense heat, and labourers tired from working in the scorching sun. Frequent power outages are making matters worse by making people uncomfortable and making it difficult for them to cope, especially older adults.
As the warmth continues and water shortages are devastating the vegetation, the situation has forced schools to close. The harsh weather is causing chaos in every facet of life, making the situation catastrophic.
Heatwave: Its Wider Consequences
The heat wave, which started in mid-May, is anticipated to have an impact on future elections, food prices, and obtaining water. El Niño circumstances made last year’s 2023 the warmest year on record in 122 years. Despite its decline, El Niño appears to have had a lasting effect, as evidenced by India’s scorching summer.
Electronic Devices Sensing the Heat
Our electronic gadgets are being affected by the intense heat besides people and the environment. My phone is alerting me to warnings like “Phone overheating” and “WhatsApp is causing your phone to overheat” as I’m writing this blog. In 20 seconds, it will close." Similar alerts have even come from Google. It’s a first for me and shows just how widespread and intense the effects of this scorching summer are.
