Mexico’s Extreme Heat Wave Continues to Kill
Mexico’s extreme heat wave has continued to kill, with at least 200 people reported dead since March. The National Meteorological Service has warned that temperatures could reach 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) in some parts of the country.
The heat wave has been particularly deadly for the elderly, children, and people with chronic health conditions. Many people have also been forced to seek medical attention for heat-related illnesses.
The government has deployed water trucks and opened cooling centers in an effort to help people stay cool. However, many people do not have access to these resources.
The heat wave is a reminder of the dangers of climate change. Mexico is one of the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and experts say that the frequency and intensity of heat waves are likely to increase in the future.
