The countries of South and South-East Asia have been facing an unprecedented heatwave for several days now, reaching record levels. The heatwave has led to school closures in Bangladesh, crowded parks in Burma and heat alerts across the region. Experts point out that these heatwaves have become longer, more intense and more frequent as a result of global warming
In Bangladesh, schools and madrasas have been ordered closed until Thursday because of the persistent heat. This decision comes barely a day after they were reopened, when millions of pupils were confronted with high temperatures. As a result of the intense heat, many pupils have suffered health problems linked to excessive sweating.
In the Philippines, face-to-face classes have been suspended for two days because of the heat wave sweeping the country. This measure affects almost 47,000 schools, most of which do not have air conditioning. Manila recorded record temperatures, with the heat index reaching 45 degrees Celsius.
