In the Philippines, the record heat was 'virtually impossible' without climate change.

Extreme heat, spanning Lebanon to the Philippines since April, is being blamed for hundreds of deaths. It's added to the suffering of people who lack access to air conditioning, including displaced persons in the Middle East, the study notes.They also zoomed in on maximum heat wave timeframes for South and Southeast Asia.

For example, in West Asia, they found that a heat wave of similar magnitude has a 10% chance of occurring in any given year. This is because weather observations from these heat waves showed that new climate model simulations would most likely closely match the conclusions of past climate attribution studies from 2022 and 2023.In West Asia, climate change made the heat about five times more likely and 1.7°C hotter, the study concluded.

Given its magnitude and longevity, the brutal heat in the Philippines, which set all-time national temperature records, would have been "And in South Asia, 30-day heat waves on par with this have already become about 45 times more likely, and 0.85°C hotter due to global warming, historical weather data shows.
