Rising global temperatures and seawater temperatures have led to an increase in extreme weather patterns leading to droughts and floods. These natural phenomena, in turn, affect the supply of drinking water in some communities, which causes an increase in the prevalence of diseases related to the supply of drinking water. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the effects of global warming on human health in the population of Monterrey, Mexico after Hurricane Alex. We interpolated data using statistical downscaling of climate projection data for 2050 and 2080 and correlated it with disease occurrence. We found a remarkable rise in the incidence of transmissible infectious disease symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms predominated and were associated with drinking of contaminated water like tap water or water from communal mobile water tanks, probably because of the contamination of clean water, the disruption of water sanitation, and the inability to maintain home hygiene practices.
全球气温和海水温度的上升导致极端天气模式的增加，从而引发干旱和洪水。这些自然现象反过来又影响了一些社区的饮用水供应，导致与饮用水供应有关的疾病的发病率上升。这项工作的目的是展示飓风亚历克斯后墨西哥蒙特雷人口中全球变暖对人类健康的影响。我们使用气候预测数据的统计降尺度插值数据，并将其与疾病发生相关联。我们发现传染性疾病症状的发病率显著上升。胃肠道症状占主导地位，与饮用受污染的水有关，如自来水或社区移动水箱中的水，可能是由于清洁水受到污染、破坏了水卫生，以及无法保持家庭卫生习惯。
