Are heatwaves the new norm?
About this episode
The episode discusses the increasing frequency of heatwaves in the UK and the lack of innovative adaptation strategies in response.
Each year new temperature records are threatened to be broken. But the UK seems to respond not with innovative adaptation, but with shock. Why? Ada Barumé is joined by academic meteorologist Rob Thomson and Dimple Rana, who is the Heat Resilience Leader at Arup, to discuss how we got here and where we go next. Hosted on Acast.
