Extreme weather events across Asia — heatwaves, heavy rains, and floods — are putting thousands of lives at risk. Experts emphasize that these events are intensifying due to climate change.
In Japan, temperatures reached 41.8°C, marking the hottest day in the country's history. Over the past months, more than 50 people have died solely from the heat. South Korea experienced 22 consecutive tropical nights.
In China, heavy rains and floods have caused hundreds of deaths, with thousands evacuated. In India, sudden downpours flooded many regions. In Pakistan, nearly 300 people have died due to rains since June.
Across the region, sharp changes in temperature and precipitation are damaging health, economies, and infrastructure. According to the World Meteorological Organization, Asia is warming twice as fast as the global average.
Experts stress the urgent need for climate action. Otherwise, extreme weather may become the norm and increasingly endanger human lives.
