But every region of the world needs to prepare for unprecedented heat, new research shows.
A resident walks through a temporary misting station on Abbott Street during a heatwave in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Monday, June 28th, 2021.Every region of the world needs to prepare for unprecedented heatwaves, warns research published today in the. The study also pinpoints which places are most at-risk of record-breaking heat in the future and urges people to start preparing now for weather events they might not have thought possible in the past.
The researchers identified which locations are probably past due to seeing their temperature records shattered. They also considered factors that make certain communities more vulnerable than others, like booming population growth and limited access to air conditioning or healthcare. Crucially, they find that communities facing the most risk have never dealt with such extreme heat in the past. That means they might not be prepared to handle the consequences since emergency response plans tend to take shape“Anywhere in the world could experience one of these heat waves beyond what is currently seen as possible.”
“They’ve had no reason to adapt, to learn how to live with it yet,” says Vikki Thompson, lead author of the paper. She’s now a climate scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute but completed the study as a researcher at the University of Bristol. “The key thing that we find is that anywhere in the world could experience one of these heat waves beyond what is currently seen as possible from the observational record ... everywhere needs to be prepared for them.”
