7 weeks of “inhuman” heat in Pakistani city as temperatures top 100 degrees 50C with a water crisis
With temperatures reaching over 50C during an unusual heatwave that began in the spring, Jacobabad in Pakistan’s Sindh Province is one of the hottest places on Earth.
Over 50 days, residents of a city in Pakistan have been subjected to an extreme heatwave.
In landlocked Jacobabad, one of the hottest places on Earth, experts worry that temperatures have risen to levels that are beyond what humans can withstand.
It happens as the UK prepares for tomorrow’s thunderstorms and downpours that will put an end to its own short heat wave.
However, scientists are also forecasting a spectacular summer of sunshine with reports of four heatwaves headed our way – but nothing as intense as what was seen in Jacobabad.
The entire Sindh Province has experienced persistent temperatures of 38°C or above since March.
A startling 50C has been reached in recent weeks.
Along with India, other regions of the country have been affected by the heatwave, which has affected more than a billion people worldwide.
Water stress, electrical shortages, and a lack of heat adaptation techniques are all made worse by the rising temperatures and humidity.
According to experts, the conditions are beyond what the human body can tolerate.
Despite the fact that summers are beginning earlier each year, forecasters worry that climate change could prolong these harsh weather conditions.
