In India, very high temperatures for the time of year affect several regions of the country. The thermometer exceeds 46 degrees on Saturday April 30 in New Delhi.

The Yamuna river in New Delhi (India) is completely dry in places on Saturday 30 April. A great heat wave hits the north of the country. “I’ve never seen so little water here. Usually it’s full, now look: there’s hardly any water left. I find it really shocking,” says Mani Subamramaim, tuk-tuk driver. Since March, New Delhi has been sizzling under a blazing sun and unseasonably high temperatures.

In some areas of the capital, the thermometer rose to 46 degrees on Saturday. A married couple who run an ironing workshop can’t stand it anymore. “These are extreme conditions for us. And if it takes a long time, it becomes even more difficult. It’s so hot that I have a headache and a stomach ache,” the worker said. The exceptional temperatures are expected to continue to rise in the coming days. Hospitals are preparing to take in sick patients from the heatwave.
