Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, is currently experiencing an unprecedented heatwave. Yesterday, the city recorded a maximum temperature of 43.5°C (109.5°F). This marks the third consecutive day the city’s temperature record has been broken, indicating a sustained period of extreme heat. Authorities have not yet issued warnings, but residents are advised to take precautions against heatstroke and dehydration. The cause of the heatwave is attributed to a large high-pressure system settled over the region. This extreme weather event is raising concerns about the impacts on public health and agriculture.
