It’s very common for the Japanese to wear masks as well which would have made the situation considerably worse. Some may literally have suffocated themselves. :shrug:

Those masks
are due to Polluted air

If we have it that hot
in the UK - deaths would also happen

that's why we need to drink a lot of water during this heatwave of ours

Indeed we do Nicky but many fail to do that and are their own worst enemies when it comes to protecting themselves from dehydration - which can have many ill-effects.

yes it's very sad, i also just shower everyday, wash all the sweat off and being in the shower also helps cooling you down after a long day of hot weather


last night i had a nice water ice cream (pear flavour) which is also very refreshing in a heatwave


in the extreme heat like this you need to take care of yourself properly, that you don't get dehydrated

i’ve been walking around conwy for a couple of hours in 21 degree heat and i want to throw myself off the edge of the castle. if seoul temperatures are the same as japan then i’ll definitely add to these statistics when i go there in three weeks. :worry:
