Alarming temperature rise in Telangana Hyderabad
Hyderabad's urban heat island (UHI) intensity was found to be 2.44o Celsius during the previous 20 years, and it has been rising at a pace of 0.033°C each year. It was discovered to be rising at a rate of 0.040°C yearly. According to a research by the National Institute of technology (NIT), Tiruchirappalli, the conversion of natural land surdata-faces (vegetation cover, water bodies, and bare soil) to built-up regions raised the average land surdata-face temperature (LST) by 0.99°C.
The temperature differential between densely populated urban regions and less densely populated suburban areas is the UHI intensity. LST is a gauge of how warm the Earth's surdata-face is as a result of solar radiation, especially the ground and populated places like roads and buildings. Urban heat islands and thermally susceptible zones: A geographical and statistical investigation" Aneesh Mathew and Arunab K.S. of NIT-T employed nasa (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) remotely sensed satellite data.
"Changes in the UHI effect can affect people in a variety of ways. Understanding and managing UHI is essential for developing more livable and sustainable urban settings, according to the researchers, who spoke to india Herald. Urbanization-related causes, increasing human activity, and changes in land use all contribute to the UHI impact. local temperature differences between cities and the surrounding rural areas are caused by several causes, which when taken together result in higher LST inside metropolitan areas.
Living in an urban area means that summers are often hotter and more unpleasant. Heat-related ailments, pain, dehydration, and even heatstroke can result from extreme temperatures. UHI can make air quality worse by increasing the production of ground-level ozone, a key ingredient in smog, and by making particulate matter more prevalent in the atmosphere. Asthma and other respiratory ailments can develop as a result of poor air quality, which also has a detrimental influence on respiratory health.
UHI may also have an impact on the economy by raising the need for cooling-related energy. The increased usage of air conditioning may result in greater energy expenses for businesses and industries. Additionally, UHI's negative effects on health may result in higher healthcare expenses for both people and governments. UHI may have an adverse effect on local ecosystems and fauna, as well as lower the general quality of life in urban areas. It may also affect how water is managed.
