This summer is the hottest in Britain since meteorological records began. What's the impact of extreme weather on Britain?

The northern hemisphere, which has entered the dog days, is particularly hot this year, not to mention that many places in China have experienced the highest temperature in decades. Even many European countries near the North Pole of the earth, especially Britain, have a maximum temperature of only over 30 degrees in summer in previous years, but this week the temperature is as high as 4 1? C, set a new record in history This summer is the hottest in Britain since meteorological records began. What impact has extreme weather brought to Britain?

It poses a certain threat to the life safety of local residents in Britain.

Because there has never been a high temperature above 40 degrees in the history of Britain, but now there is a high temperature of 40 degrees. The most direct risks brought by high temperature are heatstroke and heat exhaustion, which may be fatal in some cases, especially for the elderly and those who exercise or work at high temperature. In order to cool the body through the evaporation of sweat, sweating will increase with the increase of temperature. However, if there is no fluid supplement, it will bring extra pressure to the heart, and the average blood pressure will drop to a dangerously low point, and even lead to organ failure in extreme cases.

The continuous high temperature has caused serious harm to local traffic.

This has affected people's normal travel. A national emergency has been issued in the local area, and the subway, train and other transportation systems in this country have been forced to land, and the frequency has been quickly reduced. Because the railway track in this country has been deformed due to high temperature, there are serious safety hazards. If the train and subway continue to run, there will be a traffic accident. National traffic restrictions will lead to a large number of passengers stranded, affecting people's normal life.

Impact on the economy

Extreme high temperature leads to reduced grain production, and drought affects agricultural harvest, whether it is staple food or specialty food. The territory is in danger of drought. Water shortage and high temperature will lead to the decline of crop yield, which is expected to drop a lot, and extreme high temperature weather will aggravate crop yield reduction. Extreme high temperature can also cause disasters, and the temperature lasts about 40 degrees Celsius, causing serious secondary disasters such as forest fires.
