South Asia Swelters: Heatwaves and Cyclones Hit Region 🌡️🌀

South Asia is battling extreme weather as deadly heatwaves scorch India and Pakistan, while Bangladesh braces for a cyclone. Temperatures hit 49°C in Rajasthan, India, with at least 11 suspected heat-related deaths reported. 🥵

In Pakistan, 26 districts faced severe heat, with Sindh expecting 50°C temperatures. Schools delayed exams as the climate ministry warned of more scorching days ahead. Meanwhile, Cyclone Remal is set to slam Bangladesh and India's West Bengal Sunday, packing 120 kph winds. 🌪️

India’s Meteorological Department linked the crisis to climate factors like El Niño and reduced pre-monsoon rains. Kerala saw deadly floods after 18% heavier downpours disrupted flights. Scientists warn human-driven climate change is worsening Asia’s extremes. 🌍
