Abstract

In the article shown that in the past decade has seen an increase amount of heat waves cases of, their intensity and duration. Shown of heat wave determinations, which are used as individual authors, as well as national weather services in different countries. Grounded, that definitions recommended by the WMO is the most convenient for the study of this atmospheric phenomenon in the Ukraine. Describe the consequences of heat waves influence on the human body, plants and animals and potential economic losses due to heat wave exposure.

Tags: consequences of heat wave influence; heat wave; heat wave duration; heat wave intensity
