The two hottest days ever recorded  were just last week, according to data from the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The high heat is due to a combination of the El Niño weather event and ongoing carbon dioxide emissions. Malaysia , like many parts of Asia, has been grappling with a heatwave for months. The Malaysian health ministry has recorded 39 cases  of heat-related illness up to June – 23 of those were heat exhaustion, 11 were heat cramps, and five were heat strokes.
