Blistering heat in North India with Delhi at 52-year high 43.7 Celsius (110 ºF)

I was in India in March and the heat was already high. It was impossible to get anything done outside between 10am and 6pm. If this is the way it is in spring, I am sure there'll be many causalities this summer. NDTV is reporting temperatures of 110 degrees F now.

North India remained in the grip of blistering heat on Saturday with the mercury soaring to a 52-year high for the month of April in the national capital. Shimla too recorded the highest temperature in over a decade. Heat wave threw normal life out of gear in the national capital with the mercury shooting up to 43.7 degree Celsius.
