Pakistan is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change, and its 240 million residents are facing extreme weather events with increasing frequency.

Wonder where they will move to when they’ve had enough ?

    Oh, you mean that amount of rain. I thought that you meant that it just didn’t get as hot there because of the rainy weather. May I ask where you are? Is it a monsoon climate?

      When the day starts, it will be very hot til around 12:00-13:00. between 14:00-16:00 when water vapor accumulates, it will rain heavily. But it happens randomly and regardless of the season as used to be.

      As far as I can tell, this has happened in the last two or three years, I don’t know what season it is. And it gets worse, since this January there has been no rainy season or summer.

      May I ask where you are? Is it a monsoon climate?

      I live in SEA, around May-August it should be summer. November-March is the monsoon.

        Oh shit. That sounds more like East Java than equatorial weather. And we’re not even in the ENSO influence now. La Niña? Accelerating climate change?

        Is the rain frequent enough that you can still grow food there?
