India is big,,,at my location its 28*C now


google heat stroke/sunstroke

- Pakistan is small.. still at many locations temprature is below 30
dont need to google it, I know how the temperatures are in Pakistan in summer and many parts are higher than 45 on average and even more. yet never heard of so many deaths.

Man did you read all the posts...heat waves are pretty common in Pakistan but down in south India we experience them only during peak summer for 10 to 15 days.You won't hear many deaths from rajasthan as well because even there people are used to it.The guy above from saudi has also said that he never heard of heat wave deaths there...because people there got acclimatised to such waves.

I dont get it, what I heard is temp hit 45 degrees which is normal summer temp so how come so many deaths.



thats normal temp in Southern Punjab and Sind and Even Lahore



some part of sind and baluchistan (Sibbi and Jacobabad) highest recorded temp is 54 degrees

we are experiencing such heat for the first time , anything above 40 is not normal for us (south indians)

Ya..places where there is high humidity like coastal areas tend to have below 40 d temp.but dry areas will reach as high as 45d.
