So, how hot is it at your place?

As heatwaves become more frequent, India’s action plans have crucial gaps

Cities must go beyond uniform strategies. They should understand the nature of heat and adapt their heat action strategies accordingly.

idk how many more deaths it will take for govt to reduce gst on AC or something

AC really isnt a luxury anymore ,thousands die every year from heatstroke in India
but then its INDIA ,1 life is equal to 2 lakh compensation i guess

10 people die daily from falling from trains in mumbai alone ,and no one seems to care

there should be no tax at all for AC or refrigerators.

The government would probably love to double it. I mean, where else would you find money making opportunities like this?

Decisions are made by government? The government is for the people?

Freezer gave up last night. Frozen ice cubes are now basically just water. Crazy stuff.

Mum pressed the defrost button. Now ice cream is just cream.

Around 8PM, one of our bedrooms showed 36 degrees Celsius, the highest to date. My own room doesn’t cross 32, but it’s easily 33-34 without the AC.
