The extreme heat that baked parts of Southeast Asia last month was largely driven by human-induced\nclimate change, according to analysis from a team of scientists.\nTemperatures that soared beyond 40C (104F) from India and Bangladesh to Thailand and Laos were at\nleast 2C hotter than they...
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 ...
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.
The heatwaves also increased rapidly in some Asian countries, particularly South and Southeast Asia countries3,17,22. Perkins-Kirkpatrick and Lewis23 reported an increase in heatwave days in Southeast Asia by 4.2 days/decade in contrast to the global mean of 2.26 days/decade. Xian et al.24 ...

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...

In the upper troposphere (e.g., 100 hPa), a significant wave train appears and propagates southeastward during the HW event over SC (Fig. 3). It implied that the wave train originated from high latitudes, impacts the high-pressure anomaly over SC via a southeastward propagation, favoring ...
