Mu bihugu byinshi byo ku mugabane w’u Burayi no mu bindi bice by’isi biri mu gihe cy’impeshyi, haravugwa ubushyuhe bukabije bushobora kugera ku gipimo cya dogere Celsius 34, ibintu abahanga mu by’ikirere bavuga ko bizagera ku rwego rwo hejuru cyane mu minsi ya vuba.
Iyi heatwave yitezweho kugera ku kigero cyo hejuru hagati mu cyumweru, aho abaturage benshi basabwa gukaza ingamba zo kwirinda ingaruka zishobora guterwa n’ubushyuhe bukabije.
Abashinzwe gutanga amakuru ku kirere basaba abantu bose kudasohoka mu masaha y’izuba rikaze keretse bibaye ngombwa, kunywa amazi ahagije kugira ngo birinde umwuma, ndetse no kuguma ahantu hari igicucu cyangwa hakonje igihe cyose bishoboka. Abana bato, abasheshe akanguhe n’abantu bafite indwara zidakira barashyirwa mu byago byo guhura n’ingaruka zikomeye zirimo ihahamuka ry’ubushyuhe cyangwa umwuma ukabije ushobora guteza ibindi bibazo by’ubuzima.
Mu mijyi imwe n’imwe, hashobora gufatwa ingamba zidasanzwe zirimo kugabanya ibikorwa bihuza abantu benshi cyangwa kwimurira ibitaramo n’imyidagaduro mu minsi iri imbere, hagamijwe kwirinda ko ubushyuhe bwakomeretsa abantu. Ibitaro n’amavuriro byibutsa abaturage gukomeza gukurikira amakuru y’ikirere no gutanga ubutabazi bw’ibanze ku bantu bashobora kugaragaza ibimenyetso by’ihahamuka ry’ubushyuhe nk’umutwe ukabije, umunaniro udasanzwe n’umubiri urimo ubushyuhe burengeje ibisanzwe.
Iyi heatwave ishobora kugira ingaruka no ku buhinzi kuko imyaka imwe ishobora kuma vuba bitewe n’izuba rikabije, bikaba byatuma abahinzi bagira igihombo. Hari n’ingaruka zishobora kugera ku ngendo zo mu ndege no ku mihanda.
Abashinzwe iby’ikirere bavuga ko nyuma y’ibi bihe bishyushye cyane hashobora kuza imvura nyinshi cyangwa imiyaga ikaze, ibintu nabyo bishobora gutungura abantu batabiteguye. Kubw’ibyo, inzego z’ubuzima n’umutekano zikomeje gusaba abaturage kwitwararika, kumenya amakuru agezweho no gukurikiza inama zose zihatangirwa kugira ngo birinde ingaruka zose zaterwa n’ibi bihe by’ubushyuhe bukabije.
