Summer heatwave facts and effects
The article discusses the severe heatwave that began in Egypt at the start of the second half of the month of Abib, lasting for about a month until mid-Misra. This wave causes temperatures reaching 40-42 degrees Celsius in the north and 43-45 degrees in the south, accompanied by a noticeable increase in humidity, which amplifies the sensation of heat and impacts health and agriculture. The wave combines four main atmospheric factors: high daytime temperatures, warm nights, high humidity, and strong solar radiation. These conditions exacerbate damage to individuals and plants and increase irrigation needs by up to 20%. The agricultural recommendations include precise water management and avoiding stress on crops to protect them from potential damage caused by this extreme climate situation, which is a manifestation of ongoing climate change.
