Guatemala
Heat Vulnerability Dashboard & Data Analysis
Overview
The ThinkHazard database classifies Guatemala's extreme heat hazard as high, meaning prolonged exposure to dangerous temperatures is expected at least once in the next five years. Heat affects a variety of sectors—including health, energy, transport and agriculture—and disproportionately impacts urban populations and outdoor workers. In 2024 temperatures above 100 °F triggered forest fires, prompting the Guatemala Red Cross to provide hygiene kits and cash assistance.
