  1. As a soft European I struggle when it gets over 35 here in Australia. 52 would be intolerable without AC.

    There is an old mining town called Coober Pedy in the outback where it gets to similar temperatures in summer. People built their houses underground to provide relief from the daytime heat.

  3. Anyone in Pakistan think climate change is fake?

  4. Well hopefully these 10s of millions of people will recognize the shitty hand they’ve been dealt geography wise and just lay down and die peacefully.

  5. Is this a dry heat? Or is it also humid there? Either way that’s hot and we’re still in May.

  6. I’m so glad that we were assured by Republicans for 30 years this is all one big liberal hoax.

  7. When surface temperatures cross 130, we here in the Western world will be in real danger of death. At those temperatures, utility workers won’t be able to repair power lines until night time. Without AC, even healthy people can perish quickly in their homes.

  8. You really have to do the math to see whether it’s better to buy people air conditioning than to pay the costs of escaping.

  10. I am almost afraid to ask, is this a normal tempesure for Pakistan?

  11. We’re going to start getting wet bulb events before too long.

  12. Yup – as a kid growing up there, I recall how the paved streets would be spongy due to overheated tar – this was when the temps hovered in the low to mid 40Cs…

  15. I was in Phoenix a few years ago. It was 125 at 9am. And that was when the temps had been 130+ for days.

  16. Glad I didn’t have kids. The future is fucked.

  19. That is also deadly for wildlife and vegetation. Hotter than the sahara

  20. I was in 52C for a couple days on an Airforce Base in Ontario, Canada years ago. It’s terrible, like a heated blanket you can’t get away from

  21. Shit this is regular summer temps inland desert California

  23. This is like when your body raises it’s temperature before it sends in the immune cells to get rid of the bacteria but with Mother Nature.

  25. dayum. I lost a chicken to this heat and that was only at 101 degrees. I cant imagine what this feels like

  26. Isn’t this just a typical summer day in Palms Spring, California?

  28. Ive been wondering why the “back in my day” mantra that the older generations relate to how things were better, simpler, or less gay, never equated to being not as hot.

  29. People are going to start living underground pretty soon

  30. Which one is harder? Stop climate change or sell saunas in Pakistan?

  31. That’s medium rare temperature for my prime rib
