A meteorological station in New Delhi reached 52.3 degrees this Wednesday, a record in the capital of India, in the midst of an extreme heat wave in the north of the Asian country.
Added to the high temperatures in New Delhi is an alert for water shortages, which this Wednesday prompted the capital’s government to impose restrictions on its supply and deploy teams to control its use.
High temperatures have forced authorities to close schools and caused dozens of deaths suspected of heatstroke in Rajasthan.
In their latest bulletin published this Wednesday, India’s meteorological services indicated that high temperatures will “probably” reduce from next Thursday.
The high temperatures that a good part of India has been suffering for weeks, above average according to the IMD, have been pointed out as one of the reasons for the drop in participation in the first phases of the current general elections, which began on last April 19 and will end next April 1. of June.
