Extreme heat is one of many factors that makes Asia the most disaster-prone continent in the world. That’s according to a new report by the World Meteorological Organization. Last year, extreme weather events across the region killed two thousand people and affected millions.
This latest report warns climate change is intensifying the severity of climate disasters. Floods, the melting of glaciers, along with extreme heat remain the major threats in Asia. And Bangladesh is one of the countries MOST vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis. It’s currently facing its longest heatwave in 75 years.

"Last year extreme weather events across the region killed two thousand people". Tens of thousands of people in asia die each year from snakebites.
Oh there she goes… the rich countries need to give, etc.
Cool mountainous areas north of them but I guess there is too many people to migrate.
Sounds like it’s just plain uninhabitable. Like our Mohave desert.
Stop breading gzzzzz
Oh come on, a lot of the greenhouse gases now are caused by these same countries. Also, Philippines and a few other Southeast Asian countries cause 90% of the pollution of the world's oceans. But sure, let's blame the western countries for everything.
Dont forget, we in the south are suffering climate change which mainly is respinsibility of the global north.
Scientists at ExxonMobil have known of climate change since 1981 and no action was taken. That is all that needs to be said here.
Ssuddenly DW is very very concern about Bangladesh's politics to weather . what's the pattern here ?
Only in asia ? It's similar situation in Southern Europe
Pls protect green lands plant trees . Human activity is spoiling earth. Glaciers are melting at high speed. Its warning for humans
Solar tech must be pursued to create sustainable cheap cooling systems
I bet the stinch is unbearable
Polar shift
Mexico city is going through a drought and a lot of people are dying due to the heatwave, over 45 Celsius in some places.
Here Rajasthan, India … temperature touched 50° C…. don't know what wil happen in coming years..
They always had extreme weather…
This is a disaster! All the best for Bangladesh
Wet your sunbrella before going out? ( Yes I know it is usually called a parasol)
Lucky to live in Northern Somalia.
Its 28c everyday here.
Not hot or cold. Just right. 😎🌞
The Government of ANY-nation: this heat wave will effect PRODUCTIVITY
The 3 most polluted countries are Bangladesh, Pakistan & India. India is the fourth highest country for emitting CO2, despite efforts to use green energy emissions have risen by 150%. With the billions donated in aid Pakistan has not invested in any form of drainage system eg water channels, tree planting etc. The money goes into the pockets of officials.
Bangladesh will have to be evacuated
