On Monday the temperature in Nawabshah District of Pakistan’s Sindh province set a global record as the city endured the hottest April temperature ever observed on the planet. According to a weather analysis method temperatures in the southern part of the country soared to 50.2 Celsius (up to 25 degrees warmer than normal).

The observation came to light after a French meteorologist Etienne Kapikian, posted a tweet revealing that it was the warmest April temperature ever recorded in Pakistan and for the entire Asian continent. Christopher C. Burt, a renowned meteorologist and author of “Extreme Weather; A Guide and Record Book” observed that this was the highest temperature reliably observed on Earth in modern records.

It is still not weather Nawabshah’s temperature on Monday is a world record for the month of April, as certain reports suggest that Mexican city of Santa Rosa recorded 51 Celsius in April of 2001. However weather experts trust Christopher C. Burt’s analysis on Nawabshah’s temperature.

Several local news reporting agencies in Pakistan described the sweltering heat as unbearable causing several dozen people to faint due to a heatstroke. Many people have considered relocating as the temperatures will continue to soar with the approaching summer season.

Other countries across Middle East and South Asia also experienced an intense heat wave. A Chinese news agency recorded 42 Celsius in New Delhi on Monday. Meanwhile, Russia and Kazakhstan also recorded warmest April temperatures ever measured in the countries histories.
