Wondering How Weather is in India these days, You Probably don't want to know.
The wind is breezing over the grass, birds are churning and twittering, the sun is shining lightly and you are sitting on the grass out there enjoying the nature's beauty. If you think this is what it looks like on a normal summer day in India, sorry to shatter your imagination, but you are wrong, wrong all the way down.
This is what it looks like on a normal sunny day and the normal temperature in most parts of northern and central India is 44'C or even a few celsius more in some parts.
Today I was having a conversation with my friend @prakashghai from Rajasthan, India about how weather is there, and I realized that it is even worse than what I thought of as it is one of the hottest parts of India.
Heat waves across country has reached an alarming level and Indian Meteorological Department has forcasted that the worse is yet to come.
Generally, India suffer with severe heat waves during this time of year with peak temperatures in may, june and july.
In 2015, Not only humans and animals, but also roads were hit by heat waves in India.

In may 2015, India was struck by a severe heat wave that caused deaths of atleast 2500 people in multiple regions.
And this year, it is predicted that the heat wave will be more dangerous than ever due to El-Nino effect.
On 31st March this year, Bhira a place in Maharashtra recorded as the place with second highest temperature of 46'5 celsius on that day in world. And it is supposed to have moderate temperature in march.
As the heat wave is gradually increasing over a few weeks, farmers, hawkers and daily wage earners who work in construction and transportation sectors are worst hit as they have to work under the sun in open.
Continuous and constant heat exposure can lead to dehydration and dizziness, Nausea, Heat cramps and head aches.
Staying hydrated by drinking a lot of water and avoiding going out during the peak heat hours of the day, i.e 11 a.m to 3 p.m is the only way to avoid heat strokes and other health hazards.
So, if you were planning your holidays in India this summer, plan wisely which parts to visit.
Upvote, Resteem, and follow to have more fun.

Won't be going out then.. thanks for the heads up
welcome.
Wake me up when its August !

will the temperatures finally break in august and get cooler? Here August is usually the hottest month of the year. It just gets more and more miserable as the summer continues. We had a very cold winter though, so I am trying to enjoy the heat and the sun...
Yes.
August is when the Monsoon arrives 😀
Rain.. rain..rain.
Ah, ok. I can see that a person either hates the weather in India, or has fallen in love with it. Or maybe a little of both ;)
I would love to see you happy. What can I do?
I feel sad when I see such a sad post
It's truth, not even a piece of hardships faced by people.
My desire now is for India to prosper! And the people of the country were happy. I have long wanted to visit India. But there is no such possibility.
Why is there no such possibility?
I recently was in Thailand. I can not travel twice a year - I can not afford it. But there is nothing to come :)
You could plan next year, There are a lot of things to see.
Or, maybe you will earn a lot in a month or two on steemit and you can travel to India then.
Yes it is very hot in #india right now. Hope rains will come soon.
I hope that too.
Its been a terrible heatwave ... hope the rains come in time
I hope so, otherwise, It would be disastrous for people here.
And we here in the UK complain when it gets to 25 degrees! So glad we have it lucky.
You should spend your Summer here for once, You will be more glad than ever.
I think I'll stay where I am for now - at least until your heatwave goes away :-)
Then there is a cold wave in winters, specially in north.
It gets more terrible with each passing year. Yet we need committee to discuss and debate if global warming is still happening!
