Unusual heat record forces people to stay indoors | BT Udland - www.bt.dk 51 degrees. It's so hot right now in certain places in Pakistan. In neighboring India, the thermometer rounds 49 degrees. The high temperatures have forced schools to close, destroyed crops, led to power outages and forced people to stay indoors. Add to that the lack of water. In other words, the heat is unusual and record high, he writes. Climate change is to blame for the new heat records, according to a new analysis from the UK Meteorological Institute, Met Office. Climate experts in the analysis point out that climate change makes extreme weather like this 100 times more likely in northwestern India and Pakistan. Earlier this month, experts from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that there is a limit to how much warm people can get used to - and thus whether we will be able to survive. The 51 degrees should, however, so far be the maximum temperature at this heat wave. Before the weekend, the thermometer was to approach 50 degrees in certain places in the region. This means that there is also a risk of fires, which will aggravate the air pollution. The monsoon rains are expected to hit in June and July - so until then, Indians and Pakistanis must arm themselves with patience. Pakistan already experienced the warmest month in March, which has been measured since 1961.
