Chennai always be a hot city but this year the temperature is relentless and it’s increasing from 38 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius with the humidity which making it more worse. As a physiotherapist I cannot escape from this temperature. I usually step out for visits and essential to buy essential products which makes me feel exhausting, fatigued and unbearable. It’s physically overwhelming for me also and I feel I usually stay with my colleagues and the patients. my patients while performing the exercise it’s very exhausting for them also to do a rehabilitation program. So it’s very hard for me also to continue the program and I life, it is not the heat wave not only affected personally for me, it is also affected the society primarily the lowering the labour productivity.

I would like to talk about the intense heat wave which is affecting Chennai right now. It is not similar to the cyclone, but I feel it is a very important factor that is threatening both labor productivity and public health as well. Chennai has always been a hot city, but this year the temperature is relentless, increasing from 38 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius, with the humidity making it even worse. As a physiotherapist, I cannot escape from this temperature. I usually step out for visits and to buy essential products, which makes me feel exhausted, fatigued, and overwhelmed. It's physically challenging for me, and I usually stay with my colleagues and my patients. While performing exercises, it's very exhausting for them as well to follow a rehabilitation program. So it's very hard for me to continue the program. The heat wave has not only affected me personally, but it has also impacted society, primarily by lowering labor productivity. For outdoor workers, for example, they are more prone to fatigue and heat-related issues. It's also affecting public health; for example, women are experiencing issues related to intense heat, which can affect their menstrual cycles. I think it's no longer a future threat. The way climate is changing, it's what we are experiencing season by season in cities like Chennai.
