Mexico, Italy and others see up to two more months of heat stress than in the 1970s, study says

Mexico, Italy, Kenya, and other regions now experience one to two additional months of heat stress compared to the 1970s, according to a study in Nature Climate Change. The research attributes this increase to climate change driven by fossil fuel emissions, with heat stress measured using factors like temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Some areas, including Southern Africa and parts of the U.S., face up to 50 more days annually of strong heat stress.
