A warning that the world is slowly turning into hell

Most countries in the world have seen a steady increase in temperature in the last few years. The maximum temperature recorded in Delhi today was 52.3 degrees Celsius. Whereas in July last year, the heat index was recorded at 66 degrees Celsius at Iran airport. This abnormal temperature seen in different countries of the world has increased the concern of environmentalists. The heat index is a measure of the temperature experienced by the human body.

According to experts, when the heat index reaches 66 degrees, it becomes a danger to human life. Experts say that if the temperature is 40 degrees and the humidity in the atmosphere is 65 percent, then it feels like the temperature is 66 degrees Celsius. In such a situation, if a person does not drink enough water, he becomes a victim of dehydration and the blood becomes thick. This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. In such a situation, elderly people need the most care.
