Heat wave is a hazardous weather-related extreme
event that affects living beings. The 2015 summer heat wave
affected many regions in India and caused the death of 2248
people across the country. An attempt has been made to
quantify the intensity and duration of heat wave that resulted
in high mortality across the country. Half hourly
Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET), based on a
complete heat budget of human body, was estimated using
automatic weather station (AWS) data of four locations in
Andhra Pradesh state, where the maximum number of deaths
was reported. The heat wave characterization using PET revealed
that extreme heat load conditions (PET >41) existed in
all the four locations throughout May during 2012–2015, with
varying intensity. The intensity and duration of heat waves
characterized by Barea under the curve^ method showed good
results for Srikakulam and Undi locations. Variations in PET
during each half an hour were estimated. Such studies will
help in fixing thresholds for defining heat waves, designing
early warning systems, etc.
