    http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/heatw.html
    
    Extractions: HEAT WAVE A NATIONAL PROBLEM Heat kills by taxing the human body beyond its abilities. In a normal year, about 175 Americans succumb to the demands of summer heat. Among the large continental family of natural hazards, only the cold of winter-not lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or earthquakes-takes a greater toll. In the 40-year period from 1936 through 1975, nearly 20,000 people were killed in the United States by the effects of heat and solar radiation. In the disastrous heat wave of 1980, more than 1,250 people died. And these are the direct casualties. No one can know how many more deaths are advanced by heat wave weather-how many diseased or aging hearts surrender that under better conditions would have continued functioning. North American summers are hot; most summers see heat waves in one section or another of the United States. East of the Rockies, they tend to combine both high temperature and high humidity although some of the worst have been catastrophically dry. Considering this tragic death toll, the National Weather Service (NEWS) has stepped up its efforts to alert more effectively the general public and appropriate authorities to the hazards of heat waves-those prolonged excessive heat/humidity episodes.

    Extractions: Heat wave: Prolonged period of excessive heat and humidity. The National Weather Service steps up its procedures to alert the public during these periods of excessive heat and humidity. Heat index: A number in degrees Fahrenheit (F) that tells how hot it really feels when relative humidity is added to the actual air temperature. Exposure to full sunshine can increase the heat index by 15 degrees F. Heat cramps: Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. Although heat cramps are the least severe, they are an early signal that the body is having trouble with the heat. Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion typically occurs when people exercise heavily or work in a hot, humid place where body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. Blood flow to the skin increases, causing blood flow to decrease to the vital organs. This results in a form of mild shock. If not treated, the victim may suffer heat stroke.

    Extractions: Heat Waves By Andrew O. Have you ever heard about a heat wave and wondered what it was? Are you hearing or reading about heat waves in the Middle East? If you do not know what heat waves are, than you better read this report. It could be the difference between life and death. Contrary to some beliefs, heat waves are not just one day of hot weather. Heat waves are deadly and can last for weeks. People have died because they did not know about heat waves and failed to prepare for them. Heat waves can effect you wherever you live, so read this report. It could save your life. Heat waves are waves of thermal radiation that affect 10 states or more with a 90 degrees plus temperature for two days or more. They are caused by humid conditions and when a "dome" of high atmospheric pressure traps damp air near the ground. Temperatures can become hot enough to kill a person. Heat waves can have many effects on humans. Among them are: sunburn; heat cramps; heat exhaustion; heat stroke; and death. These effects are caused by over exposure to the sun or heat. Heat kills by pushing the body to its limits. In nature heat waves can cause droughts. In a normal year approximately 175 Americans die. The most likely people to die are children and sick or overweight people. Men are more likely to die than women because men sweat more and are more quickly dehydrated. You are probably wondering: how can I avoid these effects? Well, here are some tips:

    http://www.chicagomag.com/pressbox/082803pressbox.htm
    
    Extractions: Klinenberg, a Chicago native who is now on the faculty of New York University, has been called on by news outlets such as CNN International ( read transcript ) and National Public Radio ( listen to audio ) to explore the French tragedy; comparisons to Chicago are inevitable. Klinenberg has pointed out that in France, the director general for health has resigned. In Chicago, the disaster was largely seen as an act of God in which city officials could not be held accountable. The difference has been reflected in the media coverage as well. For example, a recent USA Today story ran under the headline The story noted that the daily Le Parisien USA Today And yet, by one measure, the Chicago heat wave was a bigger disaster. In France, approximately one of every 6,000 residents died; in Chicago, approximately one of every 3,900 residents died. Steve Edwards , the host of the WBEZ radio public affairs program Edwards: Heat Wave Klinenberg: Edwards: So it just has the effect of shutting out the avenues for central criticisms. . . . If you just criticize this and ridicule this then anyone who brings it up looks like an idiot just for raising the question.

    http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/disasters/heat_waves.html
    
    Extractions: Hot late July weather in each of these years caused high mortality. The 1915 heat wave was credited with 535 deaths from "heatstroke" as well as high general mortality for the summer. 1955 had the hottest July on record and accounted for a large number of deaths. In 1995, hot weather again claimed over 500 lives and was a contributing cause in more than 200 additional deaths. The 1995 deaths received dramatic media coverage because of the current requirement that deaths outside of hospitals be autopsied by the Cook County Medical Examiner. Below is a short exceprt from the Cook County Hospital Annual Report for 1916 p.15 showing the serious consequences of the weather that year: Heat Prostrations Cared for Another test which strained the service of the institution to the utmost came during the extreme heat of last summer when our empoyes worked day and night almost without sleep trying to save the lives of over two hundred persons who were overcome by heat. The patients were not merely given a bath and put to bed. The had to be put in large bath tubs filled with ice water and rubbed for half an hour or more until their temperature were brought somewhere near normal. When they were broutht into the hospital their tempertures could not be registered, for they were highter thatn the thermometer would record, 110 depgrees. The clothes of practically all these pattients had to be destroyed. The employes had to work in obnoxious odors with the patients delirious and having convulsions, and it is surprising that they themselves were not overcome with heat while working so hard."

    Extractions: Lennart Regebro Travel Europe, 2001 Column: Heat waves Heat waves, and ways of surviving them. It does sound a bit like swearing, but thank god for McDonalds. Not for their burgers, they taste the same all over the world: Absolutely nothing. But when the temperature get close to 40 C (over 100 F for the metric impaired) then you want some heavy-duty air-conditioning, and the roman McDonalds’s has just that. They also have the good idea to have whole Smarties in their McFlurries, which I like, instead of crushing them, as McDonalds do in Sweden. So, when I was sweating too much in Rome, and my feet hurt, I popped in for some ice cream and sat down with my guidebook and tried to figure out where to go next. The Barcelonians aren’t lucky enough to have air-conditioned McDonalds’s, but they on the other hand have another rare commodity: The air-conditioned subway. If you live in Stockholm you may recall the debate in the press about why the subway here in Stockholm doesn’t have air-conditioning. Well, neither does the subway in Paris, or the one in Rome, and unlike Stockholm’s subway, they really need it. Going with the roman subway during rush hour is a mistake you’ll do only once. But in Barcelona, the subway trains are nice and chilly, even though the subway stations usually feel like an oven. So, thank god for the subway in Barcelona. Or thank Barcelona’s public transport sector, rather. Next: Heat waves, part2

    http://kyclim.wku.edu/BRADD/heatwaves/heatwaves.html
    
    Extractions: Heat waves develop in the Barren River Area when warm, humid weather persists during the summer months. Based on the historical climatic record dating back to 1894 for Bowling Green, the Barren River Area experiences an average of 57 days per year with daily high temperatures at 90°F or above and an average of four days with daily high temperatures at 100°F or above. As shown in Figure 7-1, nearly one in every ten years has recorded at least 85 days with a daily high of 90°F or above. Likewise, about ten percent of years have recorded ten or more days with daily highs reaching 100°F. While temperatures exceeding 90°F are relatively uncommon before April and after October, they are regular occurrences during the summer months. June averages 12 days with high temperatures of 90°F or above, July averages 17 such days, and August has an average of 15 days at 90°F or above. The Barren River Area has experienced heat waves on many occasions. Strings of 14 consecutive days in excess of 90°F have occurred 53 times since 1894 in 41 different years. Extended heat waves - strings of three weeks with above 90°F temperatures each day - have occurred 17 times since 1894 (Table 7-1). The most extensive heat wave occurred in 1921 when 57 consecutive days reached or exceed 90°F. Meanwhile, the heat wave of 1930 was the most intense with an average daily high temperature of 101°F. The effects of heat waves have often been compounded by drought conditions.

    http://kyclim.wku.edu/BRADD/heatwaves/1921.html
    
    Extractions: Although most heat waves last no more than two weeks, the heat wave of 1921 lasted almost two months. March provided a hint of what was to come. The average daily high temperature was 71.9°F, the warmest March on record in Bowling Green. Precipitation was also well above normal, and crops started to grow early. In April, a near reversal took place, with periods of cold weather that included heavy frost and freezes. The cold spell took its toll on fruit trees and some early crops. Thunderstorms near the end of the month produced hail, damaging crops and buildings in some parts of the area. May's weather brought a return of warmer than normal conditions. Temperatures were above normal, with several days above 90°F near the end of the month. Meanwhile, precipitation was over an inch below normal. This pattern continued into June, with daily temperatures consistently 5 to 10°F above normal. On June 10 th , the high temperature in Bowling Green reached only 89°F, and this would prove to be the last day of the month on which the temperature did not reach 90°F. The average daily high temperature for June 1921 was 94.0°F. The heat and emerging drought grew in intensity through the summer. The average daily high temperature in July rose to 97.0°F, and the temperature reached 90°F or higher on every day of the month. Temperatures at or above 100°F were recorded on ten days, with Bowling Green reporting 102°F on July 31

    Extractions: Download Tamil Fonts How do heat waves form? Science Many climate change scenarios project more prolonged and intense heat waves. In the summers of 1995 and 1998, increased deaths from heat waves occurred across the world from India to the United States. Two aspects of climate change enhance mortality (death) during heat waves: 1) the lack of relief at night, and 2) increased humidity, raising the heat index. This century, evaporation from warm ocean surfaces has increased the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere at any given time, increasing humidity, clouds and rain intensity, and enhancing the greenhouse effect. In combination with coastal pollution, ocean warming and flooding events can promote the proliferation of toxic “red tides” and may encourage diseases, such as cholera, that reside in the plankton. “Brown tides,” affecting seagrasses and shellfish, are persistent in many areas with local pollution and warming. Humans, marine mammals and seabirds are all suffering from the increased intensity, duration and extent of harmful algal blooms. Massive fish kills and human neurological symptoms (memory loss) have resulted from Pfeisteria piscida, a toxic alga associated with wastes, warming (summer) and heavy rains. Of utmost concern are the spreading diseases of coral reefs and seagrass beds, habitats on which other marine life depends. Global warming is not acting in isolation. It comes in addition to existing environmental stresses such as acid rain and air pollution, and largely from the same sources: burning fossil fuels, especially coal and oil. The aggregate impact of air pollution and climate change can increase respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis. These additive and/or synergistic effects can occur in a variety of ways:
