I have shifted to Delhi 3 months ago and the temperature has reached 43 degrees here. It is almost impossible to go out during noon. Those staying in North India and in Delhi, how do you deal with the excessive heat?
43 degree is too much for Delhi. Pollution problem of Delhi make it more serious. Avoid to go outside in afternoon. Drink enough water and other natural cold drinks.
Pollution of course is one of the reasons. But less greenery here in Delhi is also the cause. High buildings and more population and traffic is also the reason of being so much temperature here in Delhi. :)
We are doing all sorts of pollution, Industrial pollution, automobile emissions are the main culprits. In the name of development we are destroying the forests. And these are the reasons for floods, droughts, cyclones, Tsunamis and tornadoes.
