The impact of climate change is visible on the entire world. At some places one can see heat and at other places one can see rain. There is chaos due to heat in many parts of India. There is news of people dying every day. The temperature has broken all records. By now it has crossed 50 degrees. Meanwhile, officials said that this summer season, more than 40 thousand heatstroke cases have been reported so far. The extreme heat took away more than a hundred lives across the country. While some parts of the North-East are facing floods due to heavy rains.
Billions of people are struggling with extreme heat
Scientists say that human activities are having a significant impact on the climate. Because of this, billions of people across Asia are suffering from extreme heat. Temperatures in northern India have gone as high as 50 °C (122 °F). Which is one of the longest heat waves ever.
Birds falling from the sky
The intense heat can be gauged from the fact that instead of flying in the sky, the poor birds are falling on the ground. The number of heat-affected patients in hospitals is increasing. People are not able to go out of the house even for important work in the afternoon. The reason for all this is that this time since the beginning of summer in March, the temperatures of both day and night were at their peak in recent weeks.
At the same time, most problems are being recorded in the country’s capital Delhi. Here people are neither getting adequate drinking water nor electricity. However, the Health Ministry has ordered federal and state institutions to immediately treat the patients. Whereas hospitals in Delhi were instructed to provide more beds.
Heat Stroke
A health ministry official said more than 40,000 suspected cases of heat stroke were reported and at least 110 deaths were confirmed. During this period, twice the normal number of hot winds blew in North-West and Eastern India.
The weather department has predicted above normal temperatures for this month as well, as officials say Indian cities have become heat traps due to the unbalanced rise.
