The heat that harms children most isn't the heat you feel

New study shows hot, humid pregnancies harm children more. A spell of humid heat during late pregnancy caused a fall in child height almost four times larger than dry heat. Researchers tracked nearly 2,00,000 children, mostly Indian. Climate plans must consider humidity, not just temperature, to protect millions of unborn children.
