  Heatwave: Karnataka faces high UV Causing Skin Cancer As the country is experiencing extreme heat, oncologists are pleading with climate change experts, politicians and the public to take note of the increasing UV Index. BENGALURU: As the country is experiencing extreme heat, oncologists are pleading with climate change experts, politicians and the public to take note of the increasing UV Index. In all, 27 of 31 districts of Karnataka, including Bengaluru, are showing UV Index readings of 12, which is considered "extreme". The UV Index for Dharwad, Kolar , Koppal and Raichur is 13 and for Yadagiri it is 12.5. Only in Ramanagara it is 11, but experts said even here it hits 12 in some parts of the day.

India’s Killer Heat Wave

Image
  India’s Killer Heat Wave The heat wave sweeping across South Asia has killed up to 2,000 people already. A respected think tank says it could be due to climate change This is the highest toll since 2003, when around 3,000 people had died within a week. At that time too, most of the deaths were in Andhra Pradesh. Meteorologists working for the governments of India and Pakistan ascribe the ongoing heat wave to winds blowing eastwards from the deserts of southern Baluchistan and adjoining areas of Iran. Their forecast is that the heat wave will continue at least till the end of the month. With throats parched and skins burning, few people have been venturing outdoors during the day unless they absolutely have to. As a result, the homeless have had the worst time of it – the three deaths in the Indian capital New Delhi ascribed to heat stroke so far have all been of homeless people. But hardly anyone in the subcontinent has been able to escape another effect of the hot dry winds blow...
