New Delhi has been gripped by a brutal heatwave, with temperatures reaching a record high of 52.9 degrees Celsius (127.22°F) in the Mungeshpur neighborhood on May 29th. This scorching heat has tragically claimed its first victim this year, a 40-year-old laborer who died from heatstroke.
The capital city, along with parts of northwest and central India, has been enduring weeks of severe heatwave conditions. Rajasthan has also been significantly impacted, with some districts experiencing temperatures exceeding 50°C and reports of heatstroke-related deaths.
While some relief is expected in the coming days with a predicted drop in temperatures, rain, and southwesterly winds, the scorching heat serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by climate change. Experts warn that rising global temperatures will likely lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves.
