For reference 40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Thailand is recording city temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius or 113 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures aren't just deadly due to sheer heat but also people's bodies struggling to cool down, south east Asia is incredibly humid so sweat has trouble cooling you off. I suggest anyone reading consult a heat index chart and then look at the humidity and heat of South East Asia right now. They are seeing incredibly deadly wet bulb temperatures or how hot it feels like when you take into consideration your body's ability to cool itself off. Climate change means increasingly extreme and unpredictable weather. We were told this would happen. The picture in the article showed a woman and children in a park using an irrigation water pipe to cool themselves. I suppose that picture was chosen to make the story relatable for an urban audience. Meanwhile, the impacts on agriculture are barely mentioned. I suppose food shortages will be reported as 'inflation' when prices go up due to shortages.
