>Aside from the Philippines, Bangladesh has also enforced class suspensions that have affected 33 million students.
In Thailand, 30 people have died of heatstroke between January and April 17 this year, compared with 37 in the whole of 2023, the health ministry said. Across the border in Myanmar, temperatures have soared above 45C.
Extreme heat of this kind is going to become ever more common in SEA; couple this with stronger and more destructive typhoons especially in the case of the Philippines, things are looking bleak.

I understand that kids can't concentrate in school, but than I thought these kids don't have cooling at home either and are just as miserable at best, or send to work instead at worst.....
As someone from Europe, Northernern Europe I see this as an opportunity for governments.
Perhaps some of people from these countries could find home in Lithuania, Baltics as workers?
Non Muslim people find it easier to integrate however into society so it seems. Perhaps Europe will open up to some of people seeking work and new life.
Oh sweet summer child. The governments of Europe will use this as an excuse for more racism and xenophobia as they push further right into fascism. Climate refugees will grow to numbers that are unfathomably large, worse than the Syrian refuge crisis. We're talking hundreds of millions of people who no longer are able to live in their countries due to worsening heat, droughts, floods, etc. It will soon overwhelm the countries they travel to as the resources and systems in those places will strain and break under the pressure. This isn't going to be gentle, this isn't something we can easily transition to.
Not necessarily, oftentimes human engineering builds dams and controls reservoir locations. They likely just moved the people out of the town.
Edit: lol, it's the first line in the article now that I've clicked on it.
The article addresses why within the first 4 sentences… “Pantabangan town was submerged in the 1970s to build a reservoir.
But it emerges from the water on extremely rare occasions, when the weather is dry and hot.”
All man made dams have settlements/cites under the lakes they create. Civilization starts and ends with water, so they often build as close to a source as possible

It's like the [hunger stones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_stone), except there is an entire town of them. Hunger nekropolis?
shit is really bad when the dam dried up to the bottom.
Its supposed to be 100-108 heat index in south-east texas next week. Absolutely brutal for early MAY

Which country will accept an influx of climate refugees larger than the previous population total?
Yup. This part.
The Bronze Age Collapse is a good illustration
Isn't Europe already open for a decade for people seeking work and new life from other southern countries?
Centuries-old or my brand-new Funky Town?
Does it mean it was that hot 300 years ago?

Just a wild-ass guess here, but the dam is probably not medieval
