Temperature above 45°C; The situation is serious

Temperatures above 45°C are being recorded in many parts of the country. The heat has broken all previous records in regions like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Temperatures have reached close to 47°C in some places, making India one of the hottest regions in the world. This situation highlights the fact that the impact of climate change is now clearly visible.

Direct impact on the economy

According to experts, rising temperatures can have a direct impact on the country’s economy. According to various reports, the country may face an annual loss of 2.5% to 4.5% of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. Billions of dollars in losses are likely due to reductions in work hours and declines in worker productivity. Millions of man-hours have already been lost to extreme heat—and the number is likely to rise even further in the future.

Due to increasing demand for electricity, the system is under stress

As temperatures rise, the demand for air conditioners (ACs) and cooling systems is increasing rapidly. At present very few households in the country have air conditioners; However, this number is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. As a result, there is a sudden surge in the demand for electricity, which puts a huge strain on the power grid. Experts have warned that power shortage may also emerge as a major problem in the near future.

The country is stuck in a cooling trap

India’s electricity generation is still mainly dependent on coal. As a result, if the temperature rises, the consumption of electricity increases and with it the consumption of coal. This increases the pollution and this increased pollution again causes the temperature to rise further. Experts refer to this situation as the ‘Cooling Trap’, where steps taken to relieve the heat end up exacerbating the underlying problem.

Most impact on general public and workers

The most severe effect of the scorching sun is on the general public, and especially on outdoor workers. Cases of heat stroke, fatigue and various health problems are increasing rapidly. Over the years, the number of heat- deaths has also increased. This not only adversely affects people’s health, but also degrades their performance.
