Dhaka, June 24 -- Bangladesh now faces 200 dangerous humid heat days a year as climate change intensifies global heat risks, according to a new Climate Central analysis.

The analysis said Bangladesh is emerging as one of the countries facing some of the most persistent exposure to hazardous heat and humidity conditions.

While dangerous humid heat has increased across tropical regions including South and Southeast Asia, Bangladesh's dense population, large outdoor workforce, rapid urbanization and limited access to cooling make the country particularly vulnerable to its impacts, according to the analysis.

The impacts are already evident across Bangladesh's major cities.
