The rising danger of heat waves by Nature Research (16552612)

“…The model, which is based on daily meteorological data from 2000 to 2012, suggests that at least 87% of Qatari infants under 4 years of age, as well as more than 86% of elderly people and 80% of the general population could be exposed to hazardous heat wave events at least once in the next five years. According to the model, heat waves are most likely to occur in Qatar’s northern coastal region, largely because of increased humidity and temperature as a result of air pollution from expansion of the oil and gas industries. …”
