Northeast Asia in the Heat | San Francisco News
Description
Northeast Asia is baking under a record-breaking heat wave, with Seoul hitting 39°C and Yangsan reaching a scorching 42.5°C — the hottest since 1904. South Korea has declared it a national disaster, canceling ten baseball games as fans collapse in the heat. North Korea’s officials are urging citizens to eat dog meat — dubbed “sweet meat” — and fish porridge for stamina, alongside watermelons and cucumbers, while Japan sees over 18,000 heat stroke hospitalizations and even zoo lions dying from dehydration. As cleanup continues after recent disasters, this extreme weather exposes our shared vulnerability — a chilling reminder of climate change’s growing grip on daily life.
