Six students in India collapsed in a single day in May 2024 and days later, dozens of poll workers died from heat-related illnesses during the nation’s general elections. Temperatures hit a scorching 50 degrees Celsius (122°F) in the Indian capital New Delhi. Elsewhere in Asia, record highs were reported in Manila, Bangkok and the eastern Chinese city of Jinan. Accident and emergency doctors have warned about symptoms of heatstroke and heat exhaustion that vulnerable people should watch for as heatwaves persist around the region. In this video, the Post looks at the devastating and increasingly deadly impact of extreme heatwaves sweeping across Asia.

This is a small glimpse of what's happening around the world

[@GladysAlicea]

Absolutely, and it’s only going to get worse every year. Here in Central Mexico, it was unbearable. Had several days of rain and low temps but high humidity continues; very uncomfortable outside.

[@TheOldmankk]

No way out, the burden of an explosive population.

[@the0neObserver]

This week in west coast USA, the temps are above 110°F or above 43°C.

[@YoungNinsaneLA]

where? in Seattle it was raining

[@apex9806]

Take me there please, that is still cooler than my 51 degrees in Pakistan

[@Rudra-rf5cn]

​@@apex9806You guys reached 50 degrees too😂?

[@Zubataa]

[@samehalaa1348]

@@Rudra-rf5cn In South Asia, some countries' weather is absolutely brutal. I thought because it peaks 40 degrees occasionally here in Egypt North Africa was bad, then I started looking at Gulf countries' weather and other parts in Asia which was shocking. 40+ degrees is the normal there all summer, that's crazy.

[@Prerna3d]

All humans on this planet should be able to afford basic necessities- food, water and shelter. We have not been able to tackle this is a shame.

[@chocolatelightning]

its against the law for me to go out into nature and build a home and live because I dont own the land and cant pay taxes lol

Its almost as if if you’re poor and can barely afford to keep the establishment up, you can’t afford ACs?! Mind boggling

[@terencetong4896]

I don't see India will be a livable country in 10-20 years. It will be 60 degrees .

[@highlowend8181]

Not all hospital have ac man.

[@scrappycoco6282]

sorry but even trees suffer that its soook hot nowadays some causes natural wildfires

[@kazehayaryoji3145]

You do realize those word comes from 2 different human right?

[@ku5285]

Trees are useless. We need algae and phytoplanktons if we need to remove large amounts of CO2.

[@BuzzKirill3D]

I'm curious what the global warming deniers's stance on this? Are we really OK getting 2025 as the highest on record? then 2026? then 2027? etc

[@shubhthepro]

3 years break , now la nina . temperatures will not be high

[@Hkchinese888]

It’s a scam, comrade

[@FebruaryHas30Days]

[@RabbitWatchShop]

[@LakshyaVN]

yeah i wonder why

[@Zubataa]

No. Make a room underground. Like 5000 years ago

[@elainelindsey1306]

In alot of places old infrastructure is better cos it creates a cross breeze affect in homes which cools down the house. It's better than glass and steel buildings that run air cons 24/7

[@DaniSC_l1]

great job guys, in a few decades the earth is going to be so hot that the sea starts to evaporate 🤦‍♂

[@bobbymoss6160]

This is why I pay the big bucks to live by the beach in Socal. It's always at least 10 degrees or lower than inland.

[@GladysAlicea]

Yes, it’s beautiful and cool there, but remember that ocean levels are rising. Guess comfort depends on living in a cooler place and/or having A/C, then praying our old electricity grids hold up under the pressure.
