Abstract

heat waves may have numerous negative impacts on human health, environment, agriculture, and the energy sectors. Indeed, consecutive days with extremely high temperatures, combined with high humidity, poses a high health risk to the population. Moreover, in combination with other extreme events such as drought, they can also promote the occurrence of forest fires causing further damage to ecosystems.
