In 2016, 12 people died of dehydration on Java, Indonesia's largely populous island. Most of the victims were elderly people, with the exception of a toddler, who were all stuck inside hot cars. For that week, temperatures soared to a scorching 86 degrees. Traffic was backed up for 13 miles with no room to move around, trapping drivers in their vehicles. People returned to the mainland after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which marked the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and the traffic jam lasted from Sunday to Tuesday.
