Most of the countries of the world are facing the changed weather due to climate change.
America's neighboring country Mexico is facing an unprecedented heat crisis. In some areas here, the temperature has reached 50 degrees. According to the government, about 100 people have died in two weeks.
The severe heat has increased the demand for electricity in the country and has led to power cuts in many areas, adding to the woes of the people. Most of the people who have died in the last two weeks have died of cold.
The most affected area is the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon. This state is adjacent to the US state of Texas.
After the scorching heat, the temperature has dropped below the mercury for the past two days and the people facing the heat have got some relief from the rain. So some cities are still reeling from the heatwave.
The maximum temperature of 49 degrees was recorded in the city of Aconchi in Mexico on Wednesday.
