Episode Details

Heat stress is hitting harder and longer worldwide, with regions like Mexico and Kenya now facing an extra one to two months of punishing “feels-like” heat — factoring in humidity, wind, and human physiology. Using the Universal Thermal Climate Index, researchers found heat stress is intensifying even in places that weren’t traditionally hot, with Africa, Southern Europe, and the U.S. seeing dramatic spikes — up to 25 more days of very strong heat annually. The warmest nights are warming faster than days, leaving no relief. One billion more people now face extreme heat stress yearly — a stark warning that urgent climate action and adaptation are no longer optional.
