Schools closed, warnings issued as Asia swelters in extreme heatwave
Looks like at times (in full sun) they’ve started reaching the wet bulb temperatures where people die.
The other day, a place in the Philippines recorded a Heat Index of around 58 degrees Celsius (136 F). That is classified as Extreme Danger and most places have heat index a little bit lower than that.
