00:00There is so much heat these days that we all are feeling its direct impact on our daily lives.
00:06Today we will discuss important weather data released by N-DMA i.e. National Disaster Management Authority.
00:12And we will examine the life-saving medical advice given by Roznama Jung.
00:17So that we can deeply understand the reality of extreme heat and heat wave and deal with it effectively.
00:23Can compete.
00:25Let us quickly take a look at the important points of this study.
00:28We will talk about the science of extreme heat, i.e., the anatomy of extreme heat.
00:34Two of Pakistan's high-risk heat zones
00:37Three summers of Barahe Raast and Bilwasta Asarat
00:41Identification of four heat alert systems
00:43And five practical measures to prevent heat stroke
00:47The first part is Anatomy of Extreme Heat.
00:52It is essential to combat any threat.
00:55Let us first understand what we are facing.
00:59And what are the scientific foundations of this extraordinary heat?
01:02So first of all, what exactly is a heat wave?
01:07Look, this isn't just a normal hot day.
01:10This is a long and dangerous weather trend.
01:14Which is considered a very dangerous disaster for the world power.
01:18This is a period of continuous intense heat and passion.
01:22Which not only forces us to change our way of life
01:25but also has a very negative impact on health.
01:28And have you ever wondered why populated cities feel so hot?
01:35This is called the urban heat island effect.
01:39What happens is that human activities, concrete walls and excessive use of heat cause heat to spread to the cities.
01:48imprisons him inside
01:49As a result, the temperature of cities is 12 degrees Celsius higher than that of the surrounding areas.
01:57It can be more than
01:57This is really a haraam kun
01:59Now look at this modeling of N-DMA
02:02This clearly shows how significant the geographical impact of the temperature during the pre-monsoon months is.
02:10going to scale up
02:11This spreading red color is indicating the intensity of the danger.
02:16This means that the heat wave will engulf a large part of the country.
02:22Part 2: Pakistan's High Risk Heat Zones: A Geographic Survey
02:26Let us see how this heat shows its effect in different regions of Pakistan.
02:32And which specific areas are most at risk?
02:35Each of Pakistan's countries faces a different threat.
02:40In the Sindh cities of Jacob Abad and Larkana, the mercury can rise above 50 degrees Celsius.
02:46Is
02:46Which is a direct threat to human life
02:48On the other hand, in the Jari Markaz of Chaib Punjab, there are threats of crop destruction and helplessness of labourers.
02:55The lack of cooling infrastructure in the arid areas of Balochistan makes the situation even more deadly.
03:00And in the north, rising temperatures in the mountain ranges of Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir are causing glaciers to recede rapidly.
03:08are simmering
03:08Each place has its own unique and serious issues.
03:11The third part is about direct and indirect heat impacts, i.e., the sequence of direct and indirect heat impacts.
03:19Beyond the immediate discomfort felt, this extreme heat is wreaking havoc on our neighborhood and neighborhood.
03:27begins a never-ending cycle
03:29Heat doesn't just bring sweat, it can also be fatal.
03:34Just look at these numbers
03:36During the devastating heat wave of 2024, 2,547 cases of heat stroke alone were reported.
03:44And sadly, 568 human lives were lost.
03:48These figures clearly demonstrate how significant a threat climate change has become for public health.
03:55But the scope of losses is not limited to this only.
03:59On one hand there are frequent effects
04:02Such as heat stroke, dehydration, death of cattle and destruction of crops.
04:06But the effects of the bill are no less dangerous.
04:10There is a surge in mosquito and insect-borne diseases, severe water pollution, and extreme power outages.
04:17press harder
04:17All these things prove equally destructive for long-term stability.
04:22And her mousy side?
04:25It has been predicted that by the year 2050, due to climate change and extreme heat
04:31There will be a significant decline in the production of important crops like wheat and rice.
04:35This means that Pakistan's economy could suffer losses of approximately $5 billion in the next 19 years.
04:41This is proof that extreme heat is not only harmful for health but also for the livelihood and employment of farmers.
04:46B is extremely destructive
04:48Fourth part decoding the heat alert system means staying informed
04:53It is fine to understand the danger and know its immediate effects, but the real need is to take those government measures in time.
05:01It is important to understand so that lives can be saved.
05:04The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) uses these specific heat levels to alert the public.
05:13Is
05:13If the temperature is less than 40 degrees Celsius, it is considered normal, but if it is 40 to 41.9 degrees Celsius, it is considered normal.
05:20Hot day alert is issued during
05:23If the mercury reaches 42 degrees or above, then hot day warning comes and it is the most dangerous.
05:29Surat Ehal occurs when the temperature is above 42 degrees and even at night it is less than 30 degrees.
05:35If this does not happen and continues for two days, then a heat wave emergency will be declared.
05:53Let us talk about these Tibetan instructions of Nama Jang which practically save life in this intense heat.
05:59It is very important to save yourself, so the first and most important thing is how to recognize heat stroke in normal conditions.
06:07When it gets hot, it gets too much from the body.
06:09You sweat and feel weak, but this point is worth listening to carefully as it is dangerous.
06:16The biggest symptom is that the body stops sweating completely and the skin becomes dry and rough.
06:22Remember, if this is happening, it is an
06:26A concussion is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Other symptoms should also be closely monitored.
06:34Body temperature rising above 40.6 degrees Celsius, severe weakness, dizziness, smoke before the eyes
06:44If any of these symptoms appear, it is advisable to immediately move to a cool and shady place.
06:51It is important to avoid these dangers, the guidelines are very clear, the hottest time of the day is 11 in the morning.
06:59from 10:00 to 4:00 in the evening without any reason
07:01Going out in the sun should be strictly avoided and any kind of strenuous physical activity should be avoided during these times.
07:08It is very important that we all keep ourselves in a shady or air-conditioned place so that
07:15The body's temperature should remain normal
07:18Every day in life a few small but significant changes can make a big difference. More and more of water and wealth
07:26Drink more tea. It is better to avoid coffee and sweet drinks as these cause dehydration.
07:33are made
07:34Always wear light and loose cotton clothes. Use an umbrella and cover your head while going out in the sun.
07:41Keep it and yes, include salty vegetables in your diet to compensate for the saltiness lost through sweat.
07:48It is also very useful to include
08:04Although today we can save lives by taking precautionary measures against individual attacks, but the biggest aspect is this
08:11How can our communities, our cities, and our entire system transform themselves in this dire climate of change?
08:19and safe
08:20Paying attention to this information and adopting it immediately has now become the most important need of the time.
08:26Thank you so much for joining this event
