On Monday, the southern Pakistani city of Nawabshah likely set a world record for the hottest ever observed temperature in April. It topped out at a blistering 122.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
What’s more, the city of 1.1 million people has regularly approached those temperatures since mid-April. Accuweather data shows that every day since April 23, Nawabshah has exceeded a 113-degree high.
The overwhelming demand for air conditioning has taxed Pakistan’s electric grid.
