WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- By the end of this century, summer heat waves could exceed the upper limit of human survivability at "a few locations" in South Asia, a region of deep poverty where one-fifth of the world's people live, a new study said Wednesday. The most affected re...
The heat wave conditions have been brutal in Southeast Asia, too. In the Philippines, authorities closed thousands of schools as vast areas of the country experienced drought and temperatures up to 111 degrees — unprecedented for the region in early April. Children take a nap in the sh...

During the four hottest months of the year, defined as the four consecutive months with the highest average 2-m air temperature, the frequency of light rain is relatively high in regions near the equator and in Southeast Asia (Fig. 1a), where WBGT intensities (defined as the average of ...
Rising climate disasters underscore the overlooked impact of heat stress on health and productivity in densely populated Southeast Asia, particularly vulnerable coastal areas like India's. This study in the Indian Sundarbans employs surveys and social network analysis to explore heat stress effects, commu...
Extreme heat is known as a "silent killer," and in some areas across Asia, its intensity would have been impossible without one critical factor, a new study found.
“It is so hot these days that I cannot figure out whether I am in (South Korea) or in Southeast Asia,” said Kim Sung-hee, a student in downtown Seoul, where the temperature rose to 35.7 C. Article content Ten people have died in South Korea of heatstroke and other heat-related ...
