Asia’s Scorching Crisis | Roanoke News

Northeast Asia is baking under record-breaking heat, with Seoul hitting 39°C and Yangsan reaching a scorching 42.5°C — the highest ever recorded there. South Korea has declared it a national disaster, postponing baseball games after fans fainted, while Japan saw over 18,000 heatstroke hospitalizations in one week. North Korea’s response? Eating dog meat and fish porridge to survive the swelter — a tradition fading even there as South Korea prepares to ban it. The crisis isn’t just human: three Tokyo zoo lions died from suspected heatstroke. As temperatures soar, authorities urge caution — this extreme weather is a brutal wake-up call to climate change’s escalating impact.
