据认为，热浪的频率和强度很可能会增加，2003年欧洲经历的热浪不会成为例外。一切都表明人类已经适应了当地的气候。然而，极端事件，例如热浪，可能会对人体组织中的温度调节过程造成相当大的压力。热负荷报警系统为减少热诱发的发病率和死亡率提供了可能性。我们提出了一种方法，除了热生理相关的环境评价，也考虑到人类的短期适应过程的热环境。预报方法与以前使用的方法不同，因为它是基于绝对和相对阈值的组合，因此包括对前几周热条件的局部适应。这是一个尝试，以定量描述的主要是定性的声明，在文献中的驯化。这种方法的另一个优点是，由于包含了相对条件，即当地条件，原则上它可以适用于所有气候。
It is considered to be very probable that the frequency and intensity of heat waves will increase and that heat waves, such as the one experienced in Europe in 2003, will not remain an exception. Everything goes to suggest that human beings have adapted to their local climate. Extreme events such as heat waves, for example, can, however, cause considerable stress to the thermoregulative processes in the human organism. Heat load warning systems provide a possibility for reducing heat-induced morbidity and mortality. We are presenting a method that, apart from a thermophysiologically relevant evaluation of the environment, also takes into account short-term adaptation processes of human beings to the thermal environment. The forecast method differs from previously used methods in that it is based on a combination of absolute and relative thresholds and thus includes the local adaptation to the thermal conditions of the previous weeks. This is an attempt to give a quantitative description of the mainly qualitative statements in literature on acclimatisation. A further advantage of this method is that, due to the inclusion of relative, i.e. local, conditions, it can, in principle, be applied to all climates.
