🔥 It's getting hot in here! India and Pakistan are feeling the heat – literally. With temperatures soaring up to a scorching 49°C (that's hotter than your favorite spicy curry 🌶️), people are facing extreme conditions.
In India's Rajasthan state, at least 11 people have sadly lost their lives due to suspected heat-related causes. The desert town of Phalodi hit a sizzling 49°C, making it the hottest spot in the country this year. 🥵
Meanwhile, over in Pakistan, things aren't any cooler. The climate change ministry reports that 26 districts are boiling under a severe heatwave, with some areas expecting temperatures to soar up to a blistering 50°C! Schools are even postponing exams because it's just too hot to think. 🥵
But it's not just the heat that's causing a stir. 🌪️ A severe cyclonic storm named Remal is on track to make landfall in Bangladesh and parts of India's West Bengal this Sunday. With winds whipping up to 120 km/h, communities are bracing for impact.
Down south in India's Kerala state, heavy pre-monsoon rains have already caused floods, leading to at least seven deaths and disrupting flights. Looks like Mother Nature is pulling out all the stops! 🌧️
Experts say these extreme weather patterns might be linked to human-driven climate change. It's a wake-up call for all of us to take care of our planet. 🌍❤️
Stay safe and hydrated, folks! And if you're in the path of the cyclone, make sure to follow all safety precautions. 🙏
