Indoor heat is critical, especially for low-income families. 80% heat gain is via the roof. STS & Chintan installed cool roofs in Vivekananda Camp, cutting indoor temp by up to 12°C. Also, #community covered streets with waste materials & #ClimateSakhis trained for #HeatAlerts.
Exercise your voting rights despite the heat! Prepare by wearing protective clothing (hats, umbrellas) to reduce heat exposure by 30-50%. Vote early morning or late afternoon, stay hydrated, wear light clothes, help seniors, and carry a fan or mist spray. Your #vote matters!
Brace for intense heat in Delhi NCR over the next 10 days. Actual temperatures surpassed forecasts by 1-3°C, hitting highs of 43.5°C in Noida on May 14th. Stay updated, seek shade, and hydrate. Let's tackle this heatwave united! #Heatwave#DelhiNCR#ClimateAction

Automated Weather Stations (AWS) can measure temperature, humidity, wind & rain, & some can even track clouds & visibility.
A network of #AWS in remote areas provides hyper-local climate data. This data is then analyzed to create actionable advisories for citizens. #ClimateAction
Weather forecasts can be difficult to understand and too generic. #ClimateInformationServices use Automated Weather Stations to improve local weather data collection, issue easy-to-understand action advisories, and clear action plans. #CIS#ClimateAction
