Abstract

Heatwaves have become one of the biggest ecological threats to the survival of people in thebiosphere. For the reason, in this study is aimed that is analyzed the temporal occurrences of heatwaves in the Kano between 2009 to 2018 so as and that it devised a protocol against for this menace. Daily maximum temperature is measured at the synoptic hours during the period of extreme heat (hot anddry). With the se temperature values were used to takeout the period of heatwaves using percentile thresholds of 95th. In 2016 it experienced high number of heatwaves occurrences with consecutive 26 days of 40.8°C. The heatwaves is occurred frequently in April and May. This situation, it implies that is identifying as the periods when the occurrence of heatwaves is intense in Kano in April and May.

Özet

Isı dalgaları, biyosferdeki insanların hayatta kalmasına yönelik en büyük ekolojik tehditlerden biri haline geldi. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada Kano'da 2009-2018 yılları arasında meydana gelen sıcak hava dalgalarının zamansal oluşumlarının analiz edilmesi ve bu tehdide karşı bir protokol geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Günlük maksimum sıcaklıklar, aşırı sıcak (sıcak ve kuru) sinoptik saatlerde ölçülür. Elde edilen sıcaklık değerlerinden hareketle %95’lik eşik değerleri kullanılarak ısı dalgalarının periyotları belirlenmektedir. 2016 yılında, 26 gün boyunca 40,8 °C ısı dalgaları meydana geldi. Sıcak hava dalgaları sık sık Nisan ve Mayıs aylarında meydana gelmektedir. Bu durum, Nisan ve Mayıs aylarında Kano'da sıcak hava dalgalarının oluşumunun yoğun olduğu dönemler olarak tanımlanmasını ifade etmektedir.
