Singapore offered an unusual way to combat the impact of extreme heat
The initiative includes recommendations for three levels of risk under heat stress – low, moderate and high. They are determined based on an indicator that takes into account air temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. Parameter values will be fixed on nine sensors across Singapore and their network will be expanded over the next two years. With the help of recommendations, residents will be able to check the level of heat stress based on data from the nearest sensor on a special website.
"Due to climate change, many countries around the world, including Singapore, are experiencing rising temperatures, so it is important for the population to adapt," the government said in a press release.
