Mexico is currently grappling with a deadly heat wave that has left several regions on high alert. With temperatures above 45°C, citizens are struggling to go about their daily activities and work, while the sweltering heat has killed more than 100 people.
Mexico’s Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday (28) that at least 112 people, aged 65 and over, died due to the heat wave that swept the country from March 19 to June 24.
In the country, more than 1,559 cases of heat stroke, dehydration and other heat-related illnesses that required hospitalization were reported.
As the hot summer continues to bring scorching temperatures, people across the country are bracing for the possibility of more extreme weather conditions in the coming months and have expressed their concerns about the extreme heat.
“The weather is really hot. We had deaths due to heatstroke, because the temperature is very high”, said a resident of Vera Cruz.
“We’re not locals, but the weather is really hot,” said a leader of Puebla’s youth soccer team. “The temperature was controllable before,” he added.
Mexican meteorological authorities are predicting that the country could face another extreme heat wave in July, which raises alarm among the population.
Mexico’s National Meteorological Service also issued a statement, warning that high temperatures will persist in states along the northeast, north, central and south Pacific coasts.
