Temperatures have reached sweltering highs in multiple regions across Asia since early April 2024, crossing the 40°C (104°F) threshold in some places. Governments in Bangladesh and the Philippines have ordered the nationwide closure of schools, sparking concern from small businesses who rely on students as customers. Dozens of people have died from the heat across several countries, including Thailand and India.

You know it's hot when an electric fan turn into a hair dryer.😢😢
oh yes. this is not kidding. I just took all my clothes off literally since I'm alone at home.
@@arjay2002ph weird comment 👀
True here in Vietnam .. after noon time we turn off the fan, cuz it has become a hair dryer ..
Lol. True.
This is not a heat wave anymore I'm afraid. It's become normal summer temperatures. And it's gonna keep getting hotter if we don't do something.
3:19 Dude still wearing a hoodie 😅
Looking cool more important 😂😂😂😂
even during summer, why is everyone wearing a hoodie, they must be in Baguio or whatever they go.
Probably to escape the sun, the sun burn more intense here in SE Asia so some ppl cover themselves head to toe before heading out to avoid being burn.
You do know that Nomads like Berbers and Bedouins have always wore something to cover themselves in really hot weather?
some people can withstand heat very well. I'd pass out very quick if I have to wear long sleeves in 40 C high humidity weather. I feel comfortable walking around in 10 C wearing shorts and hoodies.
The number of deaths reported here is laughable. Much, much more people died because of that heat, but those are usually older people or those with preconditions so they don't make it onto the official record, they just died as if it were normal.
When I heard the official numbers, I "laughed", especially India's.
Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Laos: 🔥 🥵🥵
Practically all South East Asia and South Asia in general. It's burning every night here in Indonesia.
what about austarlia, new zealand and fiji? weren't they part of south too and get heat?
Frfr😢
@@fentonstrauss7304 New Zealand is far away and Australia is further south, our summer is over.
India too ??
I live in Malaysia. it's so hot even i slept on the hard tiles during power outage, I still couldnt fall asleep due to heat! Luckily we aircond.
90% malaysian is very rich . why dont you have A.C ?
@@putinia3411 due to power outage, A.C. not working for @gridselix
@@putinia3411 Malaysia isn't exactly a rich country like Singapore. But AC is affordable, it's the electricity costs slowly creeping up.
aircond outdoor are blow hot air, contributed to weather become more hot, have you ever stand on 1000 aircond outdoor unit how hot it is, and billion of people in the world use aircond
Which part of the country are you staying? It rains in my place almost every evening.
You know is hot when you get scald from a cold shower.
That's every summer in Arizona.
We're starting to see the results of passing the point of no return in global warming. Just a few weeks ago, the same thing was reported in Africa. Record high temperatures ever recorded, children at risk, people dying. This is so sad...
Hey man as long as the big corporations and politicians make a lot of money, that's all that matters
@@leob4403 You're right, but it's not only big corporations. There are also still way too many people believing that global warming is overrated (or even non existing). I really hope that those events now finally open their eyes as well, changing their lifestyle.
@@mrsbelcher yeah because they have too much to lose, they bought into whole heart into the capitalist lie and there's no way they can get out of it, you buy the house and nice car in suburbia, the impressive degree from the university, the nice career at some fancy corporation, the children in expensive schools, and instagram vacations and all that. They're not just gonna turn around and say that was all an ego driven lie, they'd rather die in that lie, than get our of their comfort zone and challenge it
See "Global warming is a lie" by SCINTILLAM DEI.
@@user-qd4td7yb8eno thanks, my information sources don't include social media,group messaging apps,live streams and nut job conspiracies or religious persuasion.
Even at early morning 5- 6 AM, you can already feel how warm and humid the breeze is.
30 people! Already!? We're in trouble yall😢.... This planet doesn't want us here anymore
Well, humanity continues to destroy the planet, that's why we have such situations.
Western countries contributed to most of the greenhouse gases released since 150 years ago. Yet we're the ones who suffer most
We don't deserve this planet. Not even this Universe!!!
@@r.a.6459 *IDIOT*
Well, it can eliminate us any time of the day and the earth will be just fine. It doesn't need us, a greedy species
Climate change needs to be addressed
Sorry, too late to do anything about it.
humans must face the consequences for our inaction.
@@Soooooooooooonicablewestern countries are mainly responsible
@@michaelellringer5600it’s not too late. we can still make changes
@@freemanollook at China
Imagine sleeping several nights without air conditioning at home with a temperature of almost 50 degrees??
Singapore 34°C - 36°C hot weather is already killing me. 😭
I cannot imagine more than 40°C (104°F) 😱
50°c in the Philippines 💀 we're burning
@@sole1cesame here in northern Malaysia it's could reach 54°C at afternoon it's totally could melt any plastics💀
@@sole1ceSo hot here in Malaysia, high temperature could reach 33°C with
actual real feel temperature 42°C with heat index.
Singapore has aircon everywhere .. outdoor temp dont matter ..
@@sole1ce 50 degrees?💀 It's too high even for us Indians.
No joke the fan in my room has been on for 24/7
no fan on here, from pakistan
True
And it feels more like a hair dryer
40°C in Phnom Penh, with feeling like 48°C for most of the day. 8pm, now still feels like 40°C.
Same here 43 Celsius feel like boiling inside an oven
Same here 43 Celsius in central India feel like boiling inside an oven it's even miserable with heat waves coming from nearby thar desert
And now East Asia calls us lazy especially our construction workers
It is all because East Asia is not that hot and moist,But we forget this point and make the conclusions about the rest of Asia directly
just like sometimes Southern Europeans were ridiculed by other European (South European take a nap more often )
Forgive my grammar (🙏
@@user-yy2ce7jo8sEast Asia actually is very hot and moist in summer. Thing is, it is wealthier than south and Southeast Asia, so there’s AC everywhere while in those poorer regions, it’s hot year round, plus many can’t afford AC
I remember that point about forgetting heat contributing to PH's status and alleged laziness by that Filipino boy from the 1950s(?) interview. I also watched a video where tropical/hotter countries performed worse than cool countries at large
@@alphanumeric6582 Its hot they go outside more which make them busier and strive for comfortable stable life compared to cold countries. Cold airs make people stay at home more and have more time for themselves which make them think about a lot of things which strive in innovation. You dont think much when you are busy being active outside. thats all
@@kvu236 hot countries u can work outside in short period of time ..while cold countries as long as you have jacket u can work longer...and actually u can make yourself warmer by moving a lot that's the difference..
They keep using all those waters to cool down, they're going to run out of water to drink.
It depends on where you stay and whether there is any greenery. Temp forecast is 29~38deg daily in my district, going up to scorching 40~45deg in northern, but my wooden hut in forested area records only 28~31deg indoor temp.
So its still quite bearable with fan or using a/c only in afternoon, while morning & late evening is quite cooling with natural breeze.
The main problem is over urbanization concrete & air pollution trapping too much heat, with excessive abuse of a/c in commercial sectors creating lot of artificial heat, while many trees & greenery are removed, thus losing the natural cooling elements.
I’m in cooler part of Sri Lanka and my whole bed is warm I don’t even fall asleep some days
In Cambodia, you can feel the miles different between being under the sun and under tree shade. It's so hot that even the air felt like microwave. I felt 10 degree cooler under the tree. I hope the government consider the importance of trees, and plant more trees on the street.
It's not even summer... be prepared for this summer South Asia
Summer starts in April in South Asia so it is summer now
Bro you from some other planet or what ?!
It's early summer in SouthAsia since March half .
And currently it's proper summer season.
It's summer for Bangladesh April-May. From June it is rainy season.
This is serious. Heartfelt warmth to these poor souls ❤❤
Heartfelt warmth? 😂
A bit of an irony there I see! Haha They need more cold than warmth right now. ❤️ 🥶
Ironic...
No we don't need any warmth than this
PLZZ NO MORE HEARTFELT WARMTH ISSO HOT HERE 😭🥵
Heatwave in South and South East Asia only. Is still Spring time in temperate East Asia.
Because they are at higher latitude, thus sun angle in east Asia still too low to deliver extreme heat. Meanwhile, south and Southeast Asia are tropical regions in the last weeks of their dry season-hottest time of the year
We need more trees, not tall buildings. Don't be surprised if we get this hellish weather.
Its not even summer yet, and It is getting very hot . Imagine the temperatures in Summer😢. Prayers for South Asia❤
Summer starts in April in South Asia so it is summer now
@@qn6wm I didnt know that.
Here in Malaysia, the states on the north is really really hot. I mean after you done taking a shower, you will sweat right away and you can feel your body sweating when you're applying your body wash. That's how hot it is.
The humidity is the real killer.
We're already sweating 5 in the morning even though we're still in bed
Divided by borders , United by heatwave
divided*
@@bobbiusshadow6985 thanks bro😉
And it's snowing in Finland 🙂
Even at night it's still so fckin hot because of the humidity of 70-80%
We got heat wave above 40C 2 and half years ago in Canada.
Have to say this for many people because this isn’t widely known (except for those who suffer from dysautonomia and/or chronic hypovolimea)- just drinking water isn't always the best choice to drink for rehydration purposes. People need to add a bit of sodium chloride (salt) and potassium chloride (frequently used as a salt substitute) in approximately a 1 to 3 pinches ratio of each plus a TINY amount of sugar (carbohydrate) at half a pinch quantity to the amount of sodium and potassium.
This amount of additions can be used with about half a liter of water.
Stay safe people who live in areas where temperatures and humidity are expected to be high. Stay well hydrated and try to stay cool.
I thought heat waves & cold waves are only in North India, South India is always 25-35. Don't worry flood is comming in July
💀
💀
Wow , is that a relief or threat ?
@@Shivam-yw9edat this point, i don't mind a little flooding😂. Ive never experienced this type of heat in my life. I never leave my ac room
Pack bags pajjeet, china will release water from Tibet From Satluj, Indus, Brahmaputra
I live in Japan and the climate in Japan is kinda crazy in a different way.
For example, the temperature today is about 12 °C (54 °F), but two days later it will be 26 °C (79 °F).
The climate in Japan varies considerably in temperature.
Next year will be more hotter than this year.
every year is cooler than the year after it..
So hot here in Malaysia, high temperature could reach 33°C with
actual real feel temperature 42°C with heat index.
Dam a pool business gonna be successful
meanwwhile in the Philippines, government department specifically department of *health* tells us to refrain from bathing. golf courses are soaking wet
This year is REALLY REALLY HOT here in bangkok
What is monsoon season gonna be like after this extreme heat?
I just came back from Vietnam and it was 37-40 degrees everyday it was too hot to do anything & got heatstroke!
Thanks for clear cutting.
Yesterday was a hot day in Malaysia. Even though it Rain but is Hot and HUMid after the Rain. It is like in a steam room.
Don't forget Philippines, also hot and dry.
Everybody's complaining of the heat but NOBODY IS PLANTING ANY TREES
Fixing the climate problem isn't as simple as "planting trees". Forests that have existed for thousands of years cannot be replaced with a patch of bare land with tree seedlings. Furthermore, it is estimated that only 1 in 4 trees planted mature into adulthood, due to the worsening climate and often irresponsible planters that do not take care of the seedling. The biodiversity would also be severely impacted if only 1 species of tree is planted in a region. The carbon sinks lost from deforestation also cannot be replaced by the replanting of trees in the short term.
im travelling through SE asia and i always accidentally completely avoided the heat. got out of bangkok before it got so hot. then southern Thailand, Penang and now Kuching are not hot at all.
U need to be rich to always move place lol.
@@jungjing2619 I said accidentally… of course I consider myself lucky… I feel most for the guys I see every day that have to mow lawns in public places in the full sun. I couldn’t imagine working in this heat.
@@jfiekms want to change place? I cannot stand this heat anymore. I'm at Kedah, Malaysia. Haha
I canceled my trip to India for this summer for this heat reason. The heat wave this year is so bad and I wanted to go visit my relatives because I haven't been back home in 10 years. I will have to wait till the winter to make a trip there now.
We have to wait a one more month to finally welcome monsoon . Then it cools down for six months in Kerala, south western state of India.
At night I don't usually turn the air conditioner, now it's totally opposite
Please take all necessary precautions ❤
In the south east, its also getting extremely hot.. I hate this horrible weather and i want more rain to bestow on us soon.
Singapore, normal sits at 30 but with a feel of 35, even standing under thenshade made people melt like ice cubes!
And this is only spring....
Currently in kerala ( india) its 45° and above .
wait why you no cover Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia? The heat hasn't reached here yet? Or people is just used to the heat?
that's what im saying, from a malaysian
Cos only a few countries have reached 40-45 degree Celsius and Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia are luckily not on the bandwagon!
They have it worse. >40 C
@@kanee1021 these countries aren't getting to 38C. Luckily they're better surrounded by water which helps reduce the maximum temperature, but I'm not sure why the philipines still get that hot despite being an archipelago. Strange times
Singapura weather is extremely PANAS and Humidity LAH!!! 🥵
As a filipino person who currently in resident in Ireland I feel bad for my family members who can't attend school :(
And today my cousin died, he was only 5 days old due in infection with the mother 😭😭😭
i thought u feel sorry because they dont have aircon
Rest in peace to your cousin. That is really so sad :(((
It's worse in Myanmar we recorded the heat and average Degrees (C°) is 45 to 49 celcius
53°C in Philippines (Zambales) yesterday
just check google and it's back to low 30s -high 20s degs now...
heavy rain in Africa and extreme heat in Asia, surely unrelated
We are 42deg Celc here in Manila
I'm in Cambodia. I drive a scooter to work, and if I don't wear a thick shirt, my back gets burned. Also, we're having power outages because everyone has their AC on full blast, and the power grid is overloaded. I was at a bar last night, and the power went out, so we just turned on our phone lights and carried on.
The English subtitles for the Bangladeshi Rickshaw puller wasn’t right. He was talking about Schools and Colleges being off, It's hard to earn in such hot weather.
Couple of days ago here in dhaka temp was 40 degree and feeling was 48 degree
That's how crazy it has been🥵🥵🥵🥵
In the Philippines it's also super hot and for added challenge, sometimes there's also no electricity and water supply for the entire day specially in the province areas.
its so hot that even taking shower doesnt help anymore. and we dont need water heater because the water is literally hot that i need to wait for cool water to comes out
The heat this years summer is crazy without AC i would've died already... probably
im 25 years old from the philippines and last sunday was the hottest ive ever felt in my life we were traveling on a car as soon as i got out i was sweating all over it was like i was inside an oven i was struggling i felt like i couldnt breathe.
Meanwhile it's opposite in my district in j&k(India) It's been raining day and night in april not even monsoon here 18 degree is unusual for us we have 30degree in april but this time It's not
Cuz of high altitude
Same here. I am also from J&K. It's 15 degree in my district and feeling slightly cool.
you know it’s when water shower turn into fire…
2:39 School has been suspended in out country. 😂
Diesel emissions from cars in 3rd world countries are not making this situation any better
After this heatwave we will have strong typhoons having wind speeds above 200 km/hr (130 miles/hr)

What is the hottest temperature that’s currently recorded today?
It’s 14 degrees Celsius in Shanghai today. I need to wear a coat.
Lucky you.
It's in negatives in Antarctica.
I can't even stay inside without a heavily layered coat .
Ur fooling
It's scorching here in Mumbai.. I wish I could be in your position instead
My family and I bath 3 times a day now, it's really hot even at night, the fan blows hot air, even the water in the faucet turns hot.
Seriously.. at my place, north Jakarta Indonesia.. the weather most i ever seen yesterday 44⁰C 😱😱.. i have a proof with my thermo.
I have to use a powerful vent fan to make sleeping at nights bearable. When it strikes at 8 AM, it becomes a warm setting hair dryer.
😢😢😢🥵🥵 stay safe Philippines 🇵🇭 other areas very hot at moment dangerous out side
Here in South America Southeast of Brazil is having a heatwave in the middle of the autumn after many others. It's reaching 37, 38 degrees everyday, I never felt this temperature in the autumn before, I'm worried!! 😰😰😰
I'm from southern Australia, we're like you, in the southern hemisphere but closer to Antarctica so it's autumn but last week we had a surprisingly warm day like it was spring and these days, the weather, even though it's cooler, is nowhere near the usual autumn weather.
I had a look at the Rio weather forecast and it's all in the 30s, what are the usual temperatures you have during the autumn in Rio?
@@user-jt3dw6vv4x Hi mate, I'm not from Rio and I don't know what are the usual temperatures there at this season of the year. I live in Araçatuba from São Paulo state and if you check the weather forecast you will see the temperatures at 36, 37 degrees everyday and the normal would be between 25-28 degrees maximum. I can't take so much heat anymore, we had 43 degrees many days in spring and summer!! 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Porto Alegre.
As a north indian in a hilly region, I am enjoying a temperature of 15° celcius because of rainy season. 😉
Enjoy
bec of xtreme heat,people are buying airconditioners and as a result,more brownouts
Why are we southeast asians and south asians always unfortunate when it comes to weather, like c'mon can we just experience winter seasons like other countries do😭
2:14 😂😂 lol
Will it get hotter in June-July-August, or is this the worst it should get for the year.
In indonesia it is still cool and not hot. 26C-33C
In Surabaya, maximum temperature we ever had here is 33,5 C
why poor indonesian comment here ?
i'm in riau island indonesia, its 32,7 here in daytime
@@putinia3411Ahh, you want to make a bait comment
@@putinia3411 Question: Why are you here then?
Indonesia is hot and raining, and the weather makes your body unhealthy due to unstable weather.
Build more concrete jungles.

Soon south pole and north pole is our new home😊
SCMP, I need to bathe many times a day in Singapore just to stay body cool alright! Even the water is hot one ya 🥵🤭🤷🏻♂️🚿

Ha dois meses uma cidade litoranea aqui no Brazil (rio de janeiro)registrou uma temperatura de 60 gráus......agora não adianta lamentar não ter feito nada antes e tambem não se fará nada agora......a economia mundial é mais importante que tudo até quando não sei.......
I think the record will be broken every year from now on until we take extreme measures to tackle global warming.😢
The people in power are basically just expecting people die from this while they hide away in air conditioned mansions and whatnot
Wild life animal and plants don’t have the same help. Same for crops.
we are now in the global boiling era
It's because of the kcufing geography. I wished India didn't lie on the tropic of cancer
Heat wave isnt new.
Blame the artificial sun made by Korea and China 😖
I wonder what caused it ...
The power of the sun
The power of global warming.
more forest disappear become a city, atmosphere become more thin layer againt the sun, more people using airconds
Because of elnino
One simple answer: *GREED*
