Abstract
Heat wave has become an epic problem and is recurring every year and is lasting for many days. The days are becoming hotter than before and are fatal to individuals. An increased torture to the earth is the reason why the planet warms up extensively. The impact of heat waves directly impacts the economy when productivity decreases due to various reasons. Along with growth, carbon footprints have to be minimized for the climate to stabilize.
