    Vietnam has recorded its highest-ever temperature of 44.1 degrees Celsius (111.38°F), as weather forecasters warned that the new level could soon be surpassed because of climate change. The record was set on May 6, 2023, in the northern province of Thanh Hoa. Officials warned people in the area to stay indoors during the hottest times of the day. Record temperatures have been reported across Southeast Asia since the start of a heatwave in April.

It keep a thin layer of air inside which is cooler than the air from outside (44 celcius). Beside, It protect your skin not burned out by direct contact with sunlight. Some of the jacket also has cooler fan (same kind used for doctors when wearing protective gear during the covid epidemic)

    The earth is moving from a "goldilocks" state, towards a low-"goldilocks" state. Back and forth from a geological hot earth to a geological cold earth like some planetary respiration over it's existence.
    And it is doubtful that the equatorial regions will be a better life for great grandchildren. Migrate your family and descendants towards the poles, sparse density countries with large fresh water lake to live around and ample ground water beneath decent growing soil. Countries in need of immigration to keep their populations growing where there's a lot of room to fill.
    Countries where totalitarian, is a word used to describe other countries.
    Climate unpredictability and instability due to a geological phase of Earth is not a personal threat. It's more a multi-generational family threat, that must be survived, not endured.

      The Philippines has yet to reach temperature of above 40°C this summer! The last time we had temperature of above 40°C was years ago! So far this summer, our highest temperature during the day is just ranging from 31°C to 36°C depending on location. This range of temperature is just normal during the Philippines' hottest months of the year which is April & May! Iba naman po kasi ang air temperature sa damang init or "heat index". With temperature of above 44°C like they're having in Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh & India eh 'di hamak na mas matindi pa ang damang init or "heat index'" nila sa Vietnam & Thailand kumpara sa Pilipinas.
