Awful part is we're just getting started, too late to reverse the changing climate now.

Well, we've been fcking around with mother nature for too long. I guess now it's her turn to do the same to us.

Don't worry about afterlife. This is hell on earth already.

SG government isn't doing anything useful to reduce temperatures, only telling people to take preventive measures to prevent heat-related health problems and not addressing root causes. With cutting down huge trees and forests for buildings and housing, trying to create green spaces and planting trees from scratch are like putting a plaster on a huge open wound. Money, housing, economy and political legitimacy are what the SG government are more concerned about, not the environment. There comes a time when having too much (too much money and too much stuff) is more detrimental than good, and that time is now. Individuals can only try to do so much to reduce carbon footprint. The ones that are capable of effecting real change is the government, MNCs, huge organisations and corporations, and people of money and power.

It is too late..this is the consequences of rapid industrialiazation and advance modern8zation. Plant more trees for shades, build more dams, store more water from rain. The climate temperature will continue to rise in the future we cant control it or prevent it . Have your own airconditiining to prevent heat stroke.

We Sri Lankans Used to wear jackets in the morning. Nowadays we have to takeoff even shirts. Climate change making the hell on the Earth🔥

Singapore getting hotter is triggered by Government policy of coverting Forrest, turf, grass pitches n cutting down big trees to cater for housing for foreigners they imported. The used of aircon further aggravated the Singapore environmental temperature.

I stay in Manila for work, it is my first time ever in my life to have my nose bleed, be confused and had crazy headaches all because i went outside for lunch last Wednesday...crazy weather

Army and schools should not conduct long training or long march the under these heat wave.

Governments should make a law to let employees work from home , stay indoors as much as possible as when and where possible.

42°C here in Dhaka, Bangladesh and the weather is only continuing to get worse in the coming days ! 🥵

If humans continue "business as usual", we might see 80-100 million deaths due to the heat every summer. Heat is killing more people than all other weather extremities combined. It is indeed the biggest, silent killer. 875000 deaths in India due to the heat in 2023. 200000 deaths across Southeast Asia. Yet the top emitters don't see this alarming.

This is happening in West Africa as well. The air feels hot, like breathing through a hair dryer

42 (air temperature) today in Phnom Penh, and been over 100F (37C) every day for weeks. It's insane.

Iba, Zambales in Philippines yesterday already reached 53 degrees Celcius (heat index) the highest so far this year in the Philippines

I got a mild stroke due to the heat few weeks back. I'm just blessed that I went to the doctor the right time. If I came in too late, something serious might have happened. My recovery took a week. I felt so weak, light headed and my left part of the body kinda feels dropping. I am now always cautious with the environment and even the food I eat. I usually don't use my AC but due to what happen I use it now 6 hours during the day and 6 at night.

I like how they interview a Prof from Melbourne who is enjoying the cool weather

The sea surface temperature at Koh Kradad, Thailand is 40 degrees Celsius. The temperature was measured by Thon Thamrongnawasawat, a well-known Thai fisheries researcher.

If the west say equal rights for everyone on earth. Carbon emission should be measured by per capital as this is the right way to measure. Carbon Emissions per capita: Canada 18.51 Australia 17.10 United States 15.52 Russia 11.44 China 7.38 India 1.91

I'm living in the Northern part of Luzon in the Philippines. For the last part of April and most of May the temperatures exceeded 38 degrees. With the humidity, it was almost unbearable. Having to make improvements to my house to keep it cool. Window tinting, installation of insulation, light colored paint to reflect the light.

49°C here in our province(The Philippines)intense heat we need to stay in door in a well ventilated room

Stop building with concrete and asfalt... concrete is hot in summer, cold in winter...

Meanwhile, in Laos, temperatures are not that hot, still cooling.

Nothing and its only the beginning.

And here in Tucson, AZ, we had the longest cool winter and this spring is also unusually cool.

im 25 years old from the philippines and last sunday was the hottest ive ever felt in my life we were traveling on a car as soon as i got out i was sweating all over it was like i was inside an oven i was struggling i felt like i couldnt breathe.

"What can we do about the extreme heat across Asia?" NOTHING.

My PH island usually dances between 40-42°C HI. My workplace is not air conditioned so when I wesr my uniform, I sometimes change into challis blouses so it's more breathable. That doesn't help with the hot air blowing towards my body though.

Bottom line - those required to work outside in high heat index situations (particularly low income agricultural workers - often migrant labor) must be helped by giving them more frequent breaks for shading, cooling & rehydration. Singapore is one of the most enlightened societies & will lead the way in helping the vulnerable in heat hazard situations.

Most government will still be indifferent about the scorching heat despite all-time high temperatures and countries like the Philippines will continue being the #1 polluter of plastics in the ocean. Nature gets back on its own ways

better install insulations on roof and build houses designed to keep cold air inside. global warming is true. it's not going to be nice.

It high time we start operating at night.....

Live listening and tune in this broadcast.. they speak so clearly and slow there's no reason to not understand

feels like being microwaved in the afternoon

If the heat gets even worse and I end up homeless hobo in future , I’m migrating to Arctic Alaska.

Don't look up.

Watermelon smoothies,...great for hydration, stay cool (easier said than done) everybody!

In a way, it's a strange question to ask. Locally work from home etc... but that's just dealing with it and NOT solving the problem. The main problem remains the massive emissions of fossil fuels into the atmosphere. As long as that continues things will only get worse.

49-51°C some area's in Philippines

Well, stay hydrated and stay indoors if possible. Avoid wearing polyesther clothes. Use cotton instead. Might as well take advantage of this and hit the beach this weekend. A little roadtrip from Metro Manila to a nearby province is like a summer tradition for most urbanites in the metro.

Bcuz of Tailor swift

I'm just ordinary citizen and I don't know about engineering or road construction do's and don't but can we plant trees in the middle of national road, and parking lot I mean more trees not just display or architectural decoration.

Paint every public and private property white. Install water fountains on every roundabouts and public parks.

Watching this while getting ready to step out tomorrow when it's predicted to be 43° C, yea the world leaders need to do something!

Set your air conditioning thermostat to 26 instead of 24 degrees celsius. The space gathers less heat and the air conditioning equipment work more efficiently

I think if create a more open buying of "nitrogen/dry ice" then can be cooler temperature on ownself. Open like how "a construction idea" can happen, the location to make it? Other is buying "neck fan air cooler". If rain water collection container on top, if too bad to release will it be hot reflection from water? Water-cooler like School-Type kind of self-treatment in house, like if buying a medicine or hospitalized still pays.

i'm from chennai, india. Usually the heatwave alert starts from the may. but this time, the temperatures are soaring 38-40 C just in the beginning of april. which is affecting the daily life of street vendors, labors and other who travel long for work.

Here in Philippines even its hot we still drink coffee.

Heat index above 40 degrees celsius is dangerous.

Here in Northeast India Nagaland with 22° even that we are facing badly,just imagine more than 38to 46😮😮😮

In the philippines it's so hot we have to use fan!

World is ending... Just let it be... 😊

I think this is problem when many developed country they much investation money for change climate reduce plastic usage for example and emission. But in developing country the goverment hasn't ben aware yet about environment.

At night i shower without heater, never wipe my upper body fully dry and still perspire.... Went to the swimming pool during noon... Water was legit warm, thought i was at hot spring

Simple answer. Stay indoors. Go hang out at the mall. Turn on your A/C. Take your pick.

What about air-cond, fans, cold showers, Kathryn?

MORE n MORE CONSTRUCTION. 10M OVER Population SURE gonna Help, NOT

Even in Japan, it is impossible to live without air conditioning. The whole world will turn into a desert in near the future.

Metro Manila Philippines 40-45 heat index

Wrong question. What can we do about heat in Singapore ? Like Charity, it starts at home.

get used to it....😢

Hats off to construction workers.They are warriors🫡

SEND ICE.

Bigger umbrella

Turn off the sun, ofcourse.

Carry frozen bottles of water in bags for body and beds, and pets.

5:58 ✨️cough ✨️Taylor Swift

When you seek refuge under a tree, you feel the drop in body temp.

nothing can beat 53 degrees here in philippines. 🎉❤🎉😅🎉🎉

We're toast!

I take outdoor shower several times

Cute asian reporter put the temp up a couple degrees more

Get them A.C.

Coffee 3 times a day

What if the world get slightly warmer ? and fungi have the reason to evolve ?

Stop polluting and start using solar energy

Cambodia is also extremely hot.

My way of staying cool, exercise, lose weight n lose body heat, drink lot of cool aide. Stay lean n walk with a spring.

Why not do cloud seeding it's now possible?

Actually East Asia is fine, Now I believe I found why Eastern Asia doing better in economy, it's too hot from SEA to south Indian to Middle East right now, but liveable in East Asia.

China 🇨🇳 accounted for 2/3 of new global coal plant capacity in 2023. - China built 70 GW of new coal-power capacity last year, almost 20 times the rest of the world's 3.7 GW combined.

All people must start plant trees

Probably, we may soon resort to living under water - under the sea to be exact...

The only way is to delay CPF until 90 years old and increase GST to 10%.

30 degrees Celsius at midnight in most parts of the Philippines. These governments could easily contribute towards solar projects for sub-solar plants and then assist the end user in obtaining solar power. This will help most homes not having to be ripped off as they are for power costs, and then possibly allow them to make use of air -conditioners to be more comfortable.

This extreme heat disaster is not applicable to Singapore with fully air-conditioned shopping mall within walking distance to cool down. And, commuters are travelling in air-conditioned comfort public transportation system throughput the whole island.

Here in the Philippines we drink coffee to beat the heat..😂

hmmmmm...move....

Malaysia noted..🇲🇾

Protective gear: Umbrella. wide hat, water jug, and wet towel to lower body temp😊😅

Hopefully this leads to milder winters here in Canada😂😂

Just let it be..BUT,TAKE A COLD BATH,OFTEN..maybe every 6hours.❤

5:44 adaptation- but heat reduced (or destroyed) human productivity shall result in In-affordable situations and "shaddap'tation" For the silent poor suffering people left out of any interventional capabilities

Even here in Jamaica it is hotter than usual feels like August and it hasn't rained all year

Almost all develop countries are the one of the causes here, I'm not saying they are the only one but they are the major contributors of what we have today

Tell that to the biggest polluter in the world. You know who it is.

I guess I'll reexamine becoming an expat in Asia.

Philippines ☕ is life

People are the same as coral and trees and all living things that have limits for maintaining our homeostasis, health, life.

I can feel the extreme heat from the ground, the temperature is around 34 to 36 degree Celsius in Vietnam. It is definitely that the weather will get worse in the future
