Abstract

The heat wave which is one of the major problems through the last few decades, in which India as a big nation and huge population get affected with multiple disease some of which get influenced by the heat wave during last few decades. As per the data published by many Indian and foreign publisher it was clear that the effect of heat wave was clearly enhancing the health related problems like electrolyte imbalance, respiratory Issues, migraine, skin cancer, solar keratosis, psoriasis, and many more skin or immunity related conditions and diseases. It was reported that the raise in temperature occurs by more than 10°C in south and west resign of the nation. Also several cases were reported about the death causality in this resign of Indian continent in between the year of 2015 to 2024. This article provide the sufficient information about effect and other related terms of heat wave in this article we also enlighten those disease that might get vast and showing very drastic condition in the terms of health management and also sometimes in the form of death motility rate, also our aim for this article is to give the combine solution to those population they are either suffering or going to be the one who get suffered. This article combined the data which was based on the articles includes the solution and making one interested towards the upcoming scenarios.
