Record-breaking heatwaves are affecting the Maldives and South Asia, with the MET Office reporting temperatures above 33 degrees Celsius in some parts of the Maldives, surpassing the 29-year average of 28.9 degrees Celsius. The MET Office has advised the public to take precautions against the heat, while the IPCC links the increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves to climate change.
