Why 35°C in Europe is riskier
Europe is experiencing heatwaves reaching up to around 35°C, but cases of heat stress and fatalities are on the rise due to increased humidity and inefficient cooling. Meanwhile, temperatures in Arab regions surpass 45 to 50°C with a lesser impact. Experts explain that the danger of heat does not solely depend on temperature but also involves humidity, ventilation, and infrastructure, all of which influence the body's ability to cool down. Therefore, a less intense heatwave in a dry and well-equipped environment can be more harmful than higher temperatures in a humid, insulated setting.
