Pakistani guy, here.
You are correct, PK habitually gets very hot (been there, can confirm).
The real problem in rolling black outs during the summer that kill A/C. At night, it would get so hot you couldn't even sleep.
- pard68 2y agoI've seen some amazing old buildings there and elsewhere in that general area of the world that were able to even produce ice despite this heat. Shame that these olds technologies have been passed by for tech from more humid climates.
- reustle 2y agoIs there any discussion or experimentation on moving towards subterranean housing? Sleeping in a deep basement, basically.
- Arnt 2y agoDon't know about Sindh, but Babur used underground housing in Delhi around 1500 (and IIRC hated the hot weather). Have experienced 47 degrees in Delhi, hate to think of 52. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babur
- game_the0ry 2y agoThat seems like a good idea, but none of my family's houses had any such livable basements.
