UK weather: Climate change blamed for heatwave amid 32C temperatures
Scientists, due to human -based climate change this week, the 32C’s searing temperatures hit 100 times more.
A rapid work by the World Air Aviation Court (WWA) Research Group found that the existing heat wave in the southeast of England was about 10 times higher than heating the planet.
Dr. Imperial College London. Fredi Otto said that the heat waves were “silent killers” and the effects of heat were “seriously underestimated” and left the United Kingdom unprepared for the conditions that are expected to continue at the weekend.
Experts emphasized that elderly people are facing the highest risk of death with those suffering from heart problems, respiratory diseases and diabetes.
In addition, the heat waves that occur in the early hours of summer are particularly deadly, because the population is less air conditioned to cope with warmer conditions.
Researchers also described fires as a “risk that emerged for England in the summer months, and the conditions were more like going to those in Southern Europe.
The people called for excessive attention with barbecue, cigarettes and glass, which can fire fires in hot, dry weather.
This study points out that WWA, known for its rapid assessment of the role of climate change in certain extreme weather events, analyzes an event that was foreseen rather than what happened before.
The analysis, which was taken on summer temperature observations in the south -east of England, found that a heat wave, which was defined as a three -day temperature of over 28C in June, would be expected every five years.
However, since the pre -industrial time, the atmosphere shows that such a heat wave will occur only every 50 years without heating about 1.3C.
Dr Ben Clarke, Heatwave, Heatwave, was made more dense as a result of the planet in general, so the current air would not have a heat wave without heating, ”he said.
It was estimated that temperatures would reach 32C in Saturday in the South East and reached this level in London on Thursday.
Researchers said that the temperature of this level can be expected once once in 25 years at the current climate, but in June before industrialization, it could be expected once every 2,500 years.
Although the effects of temperatures rising above 30 ° C are not as severe as a record -breaking heat hill in some places in July 2022, researchers warned that people are still at risk.
They called for people to make sure they drink enough water and encourage their elderly relatives to do the same, to avoid high air pollution areas, to keep windows and curtains closed throughout the day, and to go to public buildings such as museums to protect against heat.
“This heat wave reminds us that our planet has already warmed up to a dangerous level.
“Today we are in 1.3C, but we are going to 3C in this century.
UK UK will experience warmer, more dangerous heat waves with all parts of heating to some extent.
“This means more heat death, more pressure on NHS, more transportation cuts, harder working conditions and lower air quality.”
At the Environmental Policy Center, Climate Science Associate Professor Dr. Otto said: uz We know exactly what intensifies this heat wave-oil, gas and coal that loads with greenhouse gases that warms the ATMOSPE with the planet.
“We have political leaders in the United Kingdom trying to drag us back to the past with more fossil fuel calls.
“Climate, emissions will continue to drive more dangerous heat waves, fires and floods in England until the emissions become globally globally.”
Authorized, air -conditioned offices people working in this week will “probably be good”, outside, kitchens or other hot environments working in the poor people and then to return to the badly insulated apartments will be based on hot conditions, he added.
“It is necessary to make our associations more equal, to reduce the effects of climate change, Dr Dr Otto said.
