As extreme heat stifles communities around the world this week, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that it has \u201cno immediate plans\u201d to give heatwaves names. The July 19th announcement<\/a> seems to pump the brakes on growing calls to come up with a strategy for ranking and naming heatwaves around the world. <\/p>\n

In the US, heat kills more people<\/a> than any other weather-related disaster. Globally, it kills 5 million<\/a> people a year. But heat spells haven\u2019t always spurred the same careful preparations people might take to, say, shelter from a major storm. The goal of naming heatwaves would be to make it easier to communicate the risks they pose to the public so that people can take measures to stay safe. <\/p>\n
