India has been experiencing a scorching heat since the beginning of May. The capital, New Delhi, recorded the highest temperature at 52.9°C last week. There have been multiple reports of deaths due to heat-related illnesses. At least 56 people have lost their lives, and nearly 25,000 cases of suspected heatstroke were reported from March to May.
