Many parts of India, including the northeastern states, are experiencing heat instead of cold in the month of December. In many places, the temperature is being recorded 3-4 degrees higher than normal, which has surprised people. In this month, which is usually considered cold, the effect of heat has increased due to the lack of northwestern cold winds. The result is that the fans and ACs that were shut down have started running again.
According to the Meteorological Department’s forecast, abnormally high temperatures in December can increase health problems. This situation is especially worrying for the elderly, small children and already sick people.
Increasing threat to health
According to TOI, Dr. Suranjit Chatterjee, Senior Consultant, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, said that such hot weather can make health problems serious. Heat and fluid loss can cause heat-related diseases. Apart from this, prolonged hot weather creates a favorable environment for mosquitoes to breed, which can increase the risk of diseases like dengue and malaria.
Effect of air pollution and temperature
According to Dr. Avi Kumar, Senior Pulmonologist, Fortis Escorts, Delhi (Okhla), winters are becoming shorter and summers are getting hotter due to air pollution and climate change. In such weather, nose and throat allergies, eye irritation and respiratory diseases are increasing. In particular, problems like bronchial asthma, COPD and interstitial lung disease are increasing rapidly.
Preventive measures
Dr. Ashish Kumar Prakash of Medanta Hospital said that it is important to get your health checked regularly at this time. He advised a nutritious diet, adequate hydration and wearing a mask to avoid air pollution.
