A recent study by researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, Stanford University, and Purdue University warns that India's extreme heat threat could extend into the monsoon season due to rising temperatures and humidity. The study, published in AGU Advances, defines 'uncompensable heat stress' (UHS) as conditions where the human body can no longer cool itself effectively. Currently, UHS is mainly a summer issue, affecting about 8% of India's land area, but projections indicate that by the time global temperatures rise by 2°C, nearly 60% of India could experience UHS in summer and 53% during monsoon. The study highlights that regions like the Indo-Gangetic Plain are particularly at risk due to high population density and outdoor labor. The researchers emphasize the need for improved heat preparedness, suggesting that current systems focus too much on temperature thresholds without accounting for humidity. They advocate for humidity-sensitive heat alerts and better safety measures for vulnerable populations, as the combination of heat and humidity could significantly impact public health and labor productivity in the future.
