Rescuers call off search for 11 people presumed dead in Pakistan floods
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Rescuers in northern Pakistan on Monday called off a two-week search for at least 11 people swept away by flash floods last month, saying they are now presumed dead, a government spokesperson said. The victims were among 18 people who went missing in July while traveling from the city of Chilas to Skardu when their vehicles were carried away by floods triggered by heavier-than-normal rainfall, said Faizullah Faraq, a spokesperson for the Gilgit-Baltistan government. He said rescuers found the bodies of seven people from the debris along a highway that was badly damaged by the landslide. The highway has been reopened for traffic after the repair work, he said. Pakistan recorded 36% more rainfall in July than the same period last year, according to Pakistan Meteorological Department. Since June 26, more than 300 people have died in rain-related incidents in Pakistan, according to the National Disaster Management Authority, which issued a new warning of flooding in various parts of the country. The unusually heavy rains have raised fears of a repeat of the catastrophic 2022 floods that submerged a third of Pakistan and killed nearly 1,750 people. Solve the daily Crossword

UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring
UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring By AbdelHadi Ramahi (Reuters) -The United Arab Emirates is facing surging temperatures this summer after its hottest spring ever, with temperatures soaring close to record highs at the start of August, according to data from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The extreme heat in the Gulf country is part of a broader global trend, as rising temperatures continue to reach new heights. Last year was the hottest ever recorded worldwide when global temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial era levels. The temperature surge followed the UAE's hottest April and May on record, the NCM said. On August 1, the temperature in the desert town of Sweihan hit 51.8 C (125.2 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest since 2021, the NCM said. This was just shy of the UAE's all-time high of 52.1 C (125.8 F) set in July 2002, also in Sweihan. Inland areas repeatedly experienced daily temperatures above 50 C in June and July, while seaside urban centres like Dubai and Abu Dhabi consistently posted highs in the mid-forties. The NCM expects the rest of the summer to remain hotter than usual, forecasting August temperatures 0.25 C to 0.5 C above average. While the NCM has warned residents to limit sun exposure and avoid being outdoors during peak hours, such precautions aren't always possible for those in outdoor industries, like construction and agriculture. "We are whining while sitting in the air-condition... they (outdoor labourers) are working actually 24/7 in this heat," said Yasir Shahad, a visitor from Australia. Solve the daily Crossword
