India records its hottest day ever

20 May 2016


Murari Lal Thanvi, a man from Phalodi, in Rajasthan, told the BBC the weather alone was hot enough to render his mobile phone unusable.

“Even my mobile phone gave up and stopped working when I was trying to take pictures today,” he said.

“I was able to switch my mobile phone on after putting a wet cloth on it for about 20-25 minutes.”

But this has now gone beyond minor inconveniences and a bit of physical discomfort. The impact of the heat has been devastating, and increasingly fatal, particularly for the hundreds of people dying of starvation due to withering crops in their remote fields.
