This research examines the health impacts of heat exposure beyond just the heatwave periods.
Analyzed health data related to temperature changes
Compared health outcomes during and after heatwaves
Utilized meteorological data to define heatwave thresholds
Detected significant health issues persisting well after heatwaves end
Highlighted specific populations at greater risk
Indicated a need for ongoing public health strategies during heat events
Abstract
Although heatwaves are typically defined by meteorological thresholds over consecutive days, their health impacts often extend far beyond periods of elevated temperatures ...
