Climate Change Hastening Heatwaves: A Pakistan Scenario

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Climate Change

Abstract

Heatwaves originate when air is trapped in a specific area for a longer time, causing an increase in temperature, having harmful impacts on the environment and human health. The main reason for this phenomenan involves high-pressure air circulation systems that prevent the near ground air to rise. It traps warm ground air in place and results in no rain. In modern times, heatwave events are arising three times more often than they did earlier in the 1960s. Scientists claim that 80% of heatwaves are due to anthropogenic activities. In addition to the heated air, elevated humidity also causes a rise in heat wave incidents. This intensely heated air is the deadliest form of extreme weather events, causing more deaths than any other climate disaster. These heatwaves cause health illness and even deaths of young children, the elderly, livestock, and wild animals. This chapter analyzes the sources and effects of climate-driven heatwaves with special emphasis on Pakistan’s situation. Also, we have elucidated the heatwave impacts on human health. A correlation is also established to identify the possible interaction between urbanization and the increasing intensity of heatwaves.
