Extreme heat in Southeast Asia leads to school closures and health warnings for millions | DW News

Hundreds of millions of people across South and Southeast Asia are facing soaring temperatures and drought as a heatwave grips the region. Dozens have been killed by heatstroke in Thailand alone. Authorities in the capital Bangkok are warning their citizens of the 'extremely dangerous' conditions. Schools have been closed in the Philippines and Bangladesh for tens of millions of children and the daytime temperature in Myanmar has reached nearly 46 degrees Celsius. The UN has warned that deaths due to heatstroke were widely underreported, calling heat a 'silent killer'

[@FrenchDinosaur]

​@@dylanmccallister1888I've been to both. I'd say, I have it way worse in Southeast Asia right now. The Florida case was closer to what SEA is experiencing right now, but a few times worse. The reason it is so is because SEA is so much more humid than Florida. A personal experience of mine. When I was in Florida during that much heat, I could take a bath, put on clothes, then I'd be sweating just a few minutes after. But when I was in the Philippines during the dry season, I could take showers and I would still be sweating while showering. Don't get me wrong here, both cases were bad... Like really bad. The only difference was that the Philippines experience made me realize how lucky I am to be born in Europe.

@myratogonon it’s because your AC dried out the air too much. Blood vessels in the nose are fragile and can break when the air becomes too dry. Wet a towel and hang it up in your room to introduce moisture. Better yet, get a humidifier and use it whenever you’re using AC for long periods.

​​@@rmot2911 we replaced thatch roofs and tile roofs with iron roofs because it's both less likely to be blown off by typhoons, less likely to burn, and less likely to fall over in earthquakes. The vernacular architecture tactic for heat is in the shape of the roof, which is typically higher, folowed by big windows. The iron helps because it heats up the attic, and with vents (in older thatch roofs, the air gaps between the leaves, in tile roofs, the highly decorated calados), it's supposed to draw the hot air from the bottom and replace it with cooler air from the streets through the big windows. Vernacular architecture was designed for mid 30s highs in April and May though, not for the high 30s the past few weeks and now reaching 40s this week and predicted to go on until mid May.

Additionally we have mountain areas that are cold especially during the night and mornings. I am talking about Java island. Java is just overcrowded!

Basically, no relieve of heat day in and night out just air frying days and Sauna nights. It's so hot during day now that I don't want to do anything but sitting in AC room and binge watch news and play video games do anything useful outside to me during the day is potentially deadly, I salute those workers and farmers that still have to work out in this record breaking heat, one of the hired workers that currently doing sprinkler system for my house and garden are actually passed out sick the other day too. By the time I finished drying myself after shower I'm ready for another shower which is like 5 minutes after sweating profusely is common here and it's about to get a lot worse once the rain season starts at least and hopefully it won't be as bad of an infernal heat during the day, but the very high humidity will be the real killer next then the real silent killings start. People assume it's fine that's its only 28 degrees here in the morning, but humidity is like 80% and that's before rain season starts.
