Excessive heat refers to periods of unusually high temperatures that can pose significant health risks and strain on infrastructure. Climate change has exacerbated the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, leading to increased instances of heat-related illnesses and fatalities. Urban areas often experience "heat islands," where temperatures are significantly higher than surrounding rural areas due to human activities. Mitigation efforts include improving urban planning, enhancing public health responses, and implementing climate adaptation strategies.
