In Pakistan, there were at least 32 fatalities and more than 150 injuries in the week of winds that followed a heat, with officials claiming five more fatalities on Friday. In a series of districts in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday, a child was among the five people killed, according to the country’s disaster management authority. According to the national weather company, severe weather is forecast to last for the northern and central regions of Pakistan until Saturday. In various parts of the nation, one of the most susceptible to climate change and dealing with extremely frequent extreme weather events, big thunderstorms killed 10 people on Tuesday and 14 on Saturday. A top standard reported that three children were killed on Wednesday in Hyderabad in the Sindh province. At least two persons died after being hit by solar panels that had been dislodged by the whipping storms, despite the majority of the deaths being caused by collapsing walls and roofs. In Pakistan, severe storms kill people every year, which were exceedingly frequent this month. Following an unusually hot April and a very clean spring, wildfires came in May. In May, temperatures reached a maximum of 48 degrees celsius ( 118 degrees fahrenheit ), which was up to six degrees above normal.
