Abstract

Heat waves are probably the most fatal kind of extreme weather event. The number of deaths is likely underreported, but hundreds
of deaths have already been reported in most of the countries affected, such as Palestine, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and the Philippines. It was also very hot, which hurt crops and decreased returns. It was also very hot, which meant that holidays had to be extended and institutions had to be closed in many countries, which affected millions of students. As far as extreme weather goes a heat wave is the most dangerous type of weather incident. It is marked by a long time of very hot weather; regardless of high humidity. Some people use different words to describe the same "heat wave," because it depends on the normal weather in the area and the average temperature for the season. "Heatstroke" is described as a body temperature above 41°C, loss of sweating, and changes in mental status. It is linked to a lot of illness and death, especially if care is put off4
