HEAT WAVES AND SOLAR RADIATION IN THE MIDST OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ADAPTATION
Climate change is a significant and pressing issue that affects our planet in various ways. It has led to more frequent and intense heatwaves and increased levels of solar radiation, which can have severe impacts on human health, the environment, and the economy. In this blog post, we will explore the linkages between heat waves and solar radiation in the context of climate change. Heatwaves are periods of abnormally high temperatures that last for several days or weeks. They are caused by various factors, including the buildup of high-pressure systems that trap warm air in a region, as well as changes in the jet stream that can bring hot air from other areas. The frequency and intensity of heat waves have increased in recent decades due to climate change, which has led to rising global temperatures. Solar radiation is the energy that is emitted by the sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is responsible for heating the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Solar radiation lev
