Pakistan Extreme Weather
What makes Pakistan different from other countries extreme weather conditions is that Pakistan paces high temperatures which is heat waves and the winter being very cold.From personal experience living in Pakistan for 8 years summer was always the worst part because of the high temperature from the brutal sun waves, you had to consume a lot of water and pray not to go out side for anything, unless to go swimming in a pool or lake to cool down your body. When it was winter it would be very cold with minimum temperatures being 39F in Punjab, and when is rained it would flood the streets of Pakistan and heavily. The only thing people can do is to stay indoors or go for a swim from personal experience.
According to an article "The Express Tribune" Pakistan is among the south Asian countries that are in a high rick of being attacked by intense heat waves by the end of the century that would ultimately make human survival very difficult. A study based on computer simulation by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made startling revelations about the impact of climate change on south Asian countries, which includes Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Furthermore "If climate change continues at its current pace, deadly heat waves beginning in the decade will strike" heat waves across south Asia "in the summer killed an estimated 3,500 people in 2015 " similar events can expected to occur more frequently and intense according the international researcher.

Hi Jade,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your thoughtful post- I am aware that many countries in Asia can get incredibly hot and humid, having travelled to Japan many times, but Pakistan seems to be on an entirely different level when it comes to extreme heat! I know it must be no joke since you speak from experience having lived there for so many years.
The article you shared left me with some worrisome thoughts. The countries in southern Asia are all beautiful in their own individual rights, and it would be such a shame if many of them became uninhabitable because of extreme weather changes due to global warming... That recorded 128.3 F, coupled with what must have been incredibly high humidity, must have been an absolutely miserable time without air-conditioning....
Thank you for sharing!
