The report said an extreme heat wave hit India, which wrought havoc on the country and already caused several hundred deaths. According to the report, the temperature in some areas was nearing 60 degrees Celsius. That was unbearable for any human, even mosquitos, to survive in such a scorching heat.

People who live in the north temperate zone, like in the middle of California, should feel lucky for themselves in the summertime. It is also hot here in the Bay Area when summer comes, but the temperature difference between day and night may reach 20 degrees Fahrenheit. So, in the nights, we still need to be covered by a light quilt on the bed, while in the mornings, we would enjoy the early sunlight when the sun slanted through the porch in the backyard.

Good luck, Indians. FYI, the next-door neighbors of mine are a couple of middle-aged Indians. They are lucky, so am I.
