Rising Night-Time Heat Risks in Cities and Updates on India’s GDP and Adani Allegations
Rising night-time temperatures in developing megacities are increasingly dangerous, as urbanization and climate change reduce natural cooling, raising health risks and mortality during heatwaves. Studies from Japan, Switzerland, the US, and East Asia show higher death rates linked to hot nights, especially when combined with daytime heat. While solutions like urban greening are proposed, addressing this growing threat requires significant effort. Separately, India’s revised GDP methodology reports consistent growth over 7%, though some doubts remain, and industrialist Gautam Adani faces recent bribery allegations in the US.
