Cambodia school day shortened as heatwave reaches above 107F

Cambodia has shortened the school day by one hour to help students cope with a heatwave that has pushed temperatures as high as 42C (107.6F).

Education minister Hang Chuon Naron signed the rule into effect on Monday, and it will remain in place until the cooling rains begin. The rainy season normally starts in late May but could begin later this year, he said.
