India’s weather department expects the high temperatures to persist across the region for the next few days and has put several states on high alert. Uzma Kagzi, a tourist from Gujarat traveling to New Delhi said, “I have worn a hat to protect my head, as my head was aching in the heat. My daughter also fell ill. She has been taking medicines for a few days.” Some parts of India’s capital reported up to 49.9 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday, with the weather bureau saying the temperatures were 9 degrees higher than expected. The nearby states of Punjab and Haryana also saw temperatures soar, with one place in Rajasthan topping the 50 C (122 F) mark. India declares a heat wave whenever temperatures are above 45 C (113 F). “Because of heat, our condition has become worse from bad. There is no relief, even from shade sometimes. I have to drink 5-6 litres of water in the noon,” said Satish Kumar, a driver. The extreme heat in northern India has coincided with a 6-week general election, increasing health risks as people wait in long lines to cast their vote. The voting ends on Saturday. April, May and June are always hot in most parts of India before monsoon rains bring cooler temperatures. But extreme heat is fast becoming a public health crisis in India, with the warm weather getting more intense in the past decade and typically accompanied by severe water shortages.
