Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Massive India heatwave 'kills 430'
Can you imagine what the air feels like at
48 degrees? Most of you probably have never experienced what the 40 degrees
temperature is like. But that is what the people in India have suffered for the
last few days and will for the next few days.
It seems too dangerous to do any outdoor
activities as usual. People stay inside and take breaks more often under the shades.
Still, nearly 500 heat-related deaths have been reported.
This extreme heatwave, even in India, is
caused by lack of rain, which makes farmlands dry up. Consequently there will
be food shortage in a later time. Is there sufficient water at least for now?
By the way, by this continuing heatwave, the number of casualties have already passed 1,000 mark as of 26th of May and is expected to rise even higher.
