India’s heat waves are attributed to a combination of short-term weather patterns and long-term warming trends fueled by human-caused climate change. Residents in India’s sprawling capital are often particularly affected, because dense buildings, roads, cars and air conditioners contribute to urban heat, experts say.

    120f = 49C

    90f = 32C

    That’s crazy heat. Can’t imagine what basically 50C feels like

      I’ve worked outside in -50 before … but that’s vastly different than +50. If it’s cold = put on more clothes. But hot like that … you can only take off so much.

      I don’t envy anyone who lives close to the equator anymore.
