Naming heatwaves could be part of enabling a \u201cheat culture\u201d where communities prepare for extreme temperature events in the same way they plan for the arrival of named cyclones, the report said. Seville, in the country\u2019s south, began naming heatwaves in 2022 as a way to increase public awareness of the risks from high temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Naming heatwaves also created accountability around the actions that communities and government agencies needed to take to protect the public at a time when global heating was increasing the threat, McLeod said. City planners in Spain were also working to reduce the urban heat island effect \u2013 a phenomenon where impermeable hard surfaces like concrete and brick can store and reflect heat, exacerbating temperature extremes.<\/p>\n<p>Other steps being taken in Spain include a program to retrofit homes to make them cooler and setting up \u201ccooling centres\u201d alongside health teams during extreme events. The Bureau of Meteorology already has a warning system for severe and extreme heatwaves \u2013 defined as periods of at least three days with daytime and night-time temperatures well above what would be expected for a region for that time of year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2024\/jan\/12\/australia-name-heatwaves-like-cyclones-hurricanes-temperatures-summer-weather\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-463\/\">Australia urged to name heatwaves to combat dangers of extreme temperatures<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,575,12908,614],"class_list":["post-122070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-extreme-temperatures","tag-heatwave"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122070\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
