2022
Klostermann, Judith | Bhadwal, Suruchi | Zade, Dipak
The RRR project (Reducing health risks of rising temperatures in South Asia) investigates real life heat stress experiences, both in urban and rural settings in India. A heat warning indicator, based on the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index was developed using local weather data. It tailored local forecasts based on these weather data, so the India Meteorological Department (IMD) could express heat stress levels that people could expect to experience three days ahead. South Asian regions have high temperatures already and these will worsen. People with low income have dramatically lower access to cooling.
