The heat dome has exacerbated heatwaves, posing significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those without access to cooling systems. In India, the extreme heat in May affected daily life and agricultural activities. Globally, prolonged heatwaves have strained energy grids, increased the risk of wildfires, and disrupted outdoor events. The inability to cool down at night due to trapped heat and high humidity further amplifies health risks, including heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
