The extreme heat has0:13spread across the nation from the0:14capital Tashkent to the arid regions of0:17Karakalpakstan, Khorezm, Navoi,0:19Surkhandarya, and the wider Tashkent0:21area. Each region is now implementing0:23its own emergency protocols as0:25temperatures show no sign of mercy. In0:27Tashkent, the metro has been forced to0:29slow its trains from 60 to 40 km/h after0:32rail surface temperatures exceeded 55°0:34C.0:35The transit authority says the speed0:37reduction is a safety measure to prevent0:38track warping. A 1/3 reduction in metro0:41speed necessary to keep the system0:43running safely while track temperatures0:45remain dangerously high. The emergency0:47response goes far beyond the metro.0:49Kindergartens have been closed across0:51Karakalpakstan, Khorezm, Navoi,0:53Tashkent, and other regions.
