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.

    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.

      It’s crazy. At that temperature, moving air makes you hotter.
