- 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.
- Mexico, Italy and others see up to two more months of heat stress than in the 1970s, study says
Mexico, Italy, Kenya, and other nations are experiencing one to two additional months of heat stress compared to the 1970s due to climate change. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, highlights increased frequency and severity of heat stress, driven by fossil fuel emissions, with regions like Southern Africa, Southern Europe, and the U.S. facing significant rises in dangerous heat days.

Mexico, Italy, Kenya, and other regions are experiencing up 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 from fossil fuel use, with heat stress days worsening due to higher temperatures and humidity.
