The Heatwave: Survive

Hello and welcome to ExamPundit. India’s heatwave has killed 1,826 people in just over a week of scorching temperatures across the country. That is the highest death toll from exposure to heat in the last 20 years.

The heat wave is set to continue, with no respite in sight. Monsoon rains are expected in the southern state of Kerala next week, but will take a further two weeks to advance to the rest of India.


Cooling monsoon rains were expected to arrive next week in the southern state of Kerala and gradually advance north in coming weeks.
