The intensification of heat stress poses significant risks to human health, particularly in already warm regions. High humidity levels exacerbate the danger by hindering the body's ability to cool through sweating. Southern Europe, parts of Africa, and the southern U.S. are among the most affected areas, with some regions experiencing up to 50 additional days of strong heat stress annually. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and outdoor workers, face heightened risks of heat-related illnesses. Additionally, the expansion of heat stress into previously unaffected areas underscores the growing global impact of climate change.
