Google Data shows what people are looking for during major heat waves

Google has used its data mass to examine the conditions used in recent decades during heat waves. The subject arrived because of the massive heat waves that strike parts of the United States and Canada, including some regions such as the Northwest Pacific where the temperatures are generally light and the conditions are generally rainy. No surprise, people really want air conditioners. 

Summer in the United States has been launched with heat registers of all time in several states, with many regions greater than 100f for several days – including states that do not exert such heat. The Northwest Pacific is an example of a strong place by heat, especially because of the lack of air conditioning as is common apparent in Washington and Oregon.

As you wait, Google searches for air conditioning have exploded, especially air conditioner installation services, at least depending on Google. The company has recently shared information on what people are looking for during heat waves, noting that air conditioner installation searches have increased every summer for several years.

In addition, research on the term “heat wave” has regularly increased; Using historical data for decades of return (including content of books and other print media via Google Books), the term has been used for at least one year 1800. However, based on Google’s data , it only has effective use of the mid-term. -1980s, highlighting climate changes in recent decades.

Some terms are a bit misleading, however, and may not refer to heat waves, Google Notes. An example is the term “scorcher” which currently means a particularly hot day. However, Google’s blog on these search terms notes the historical tips in the use of the term were due to its different meaning in the distant past, not because of the particularly hot summers.
