Indian summer

Not to overplay the whole temperature thing, but it's hot.

1. It's India

2. It's summer

3. It's the hottest summer this country has seen in over 50 years!!

Here's what the Hindustan Times had to say:

"Delhi sizzled as a massive heat wave sent the mercury to 43.5 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, making it the hottest day in 50 years. Before this, April 27, 1958 was recorded as the hottest day, with an equally killing 43.7 degrees Celsius.

Power demand rose to 3,499 MW on Wednesday, the highest this season.

And it is not going to get better anytime soon. “The Southwesterly wind, locally called loo, is blowing in Delhi. There are no chances of relief at least in the next couple of days,” said S.C. Bhan, director of the Met department in Delhi."
