The tragedy is sadly far from unique; extreme heat is turning ordinary activities deadly. Heat is the deadliest type of extreme weather, and the human-caused climate crisis is making heat waves more severe and prolonged. What heat does to your heartVideo Ad Feedback A rise in heat and humidity pushes the heart rate up. In extreme heat, your heart must work much harder to keep your body’s internal temperature stable. Blood flow to your brain decreases in extreme heat as breathing speeds up and blood vessels constrict inside your neck and skull.

"It's very disturbing," study co-author Matthew Huber of Purdue University in the U.S. state of Indiana told Reuters. It found that around 750 million people could experience one week per year of potentially deadly humid heat if temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. At 4C of warming, Hodeidah, Yemen, would see around 300 days per year of potentially unsurvivable humid heat. WET-BULB THRESHOLDTo track such moist heat, scientists use a measurement known as "wet-bulb" temperature. Beyond this, people were likely to succumb to heat stress if they could not find a way to cool down.
