#ExtremeHeat continues to scorch large parts of #Asia
Large swathes of Asia are sweltering through a #heatwave that has topped temperature records from #Myanmar to the #Philippines and forced millions of children to stay home from school. Experts say #climatechange has made #heatwaves more frequent, longer and more intense, while the #ElNino #weather phenomenon is also driving this year's exceptionally warm weather.

#ExtremeHeat is common in May. But not in April and March, both of which were the hottest across much of India for more than a century.

In the short term, experts say #India has no choice but to burn #coal to keep #fans and #ACs on. But in the long term, it must transition to #Renewables, to avoid a vicious circle of warming. #BurningPlanet #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange

#Children are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illnesses such as #dizziness, #vomiting and #fainting when exposed to #ExtremeHeat for long periods.

#HeatIndices have hit 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) in various regions in the #Philippines, as the weather phenomenon #El Nino intensifies the heat enveloping the nation in its summer months of March to May. #BurningEarth

Okay so this piece contains a map of fatalities from: drought, wildfire, storm, landslide and flood.

What happened to "heat"?
Last year #heatwaves killed nearly 62,000 in #Europe.
Erasing heat deaths in #Africa is - shall we be charitable - irresponsible at best.
