Except for high altitude mountainous areas like Darjeeling, almost all of India experiences high temperatures above 40 degrees.
There are two places that had a profound impact on me.
One of them is Varanasi, a holy city on the banks of the Ganges. The highest temperature is 48 degrees. There are frequent power cuts here, regardless of morning or evening. Travel times had to be adjusted. I got up every day at 5 a.m., found a restaurant or cafe with its own generator before 10 a.m., and went out after 4 p.m. There are two types of so-called air conditioners in the area, one is air conditioner and the other is air conditioner. The air conditioner puts ice cubes into the machine and sends out cool air. It's probably more energy efficient and. is used in many outdoor restaurants.
One day at noon, in order to taste the apple pie recommended by an LP, I remwalked up the steps of the Ganges, without any obstruction. On the way, I bought a bottle of iced mineral water. and I stuck it on my seat, used it to cool down. When I arrived at the restaurant I was told that there was only outdoor seating, but there was an air conditioner. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to sit down because it was. already extremely hot. Even though there were four air conditioners blowing on each other, they only circulated hot air. The body was covered in waves of scorching heat, all the sweat evaporated, and there was no trace of coolness. Not far from there is the Ganges crematorium. A group of people are carrying corpses to perform a funeral. The deceased probably belong to a certain group of people who cannot be buried in water, so they choose to be cremated by the river. , we have the impression that everythingthe Ganges is burning. You can clearly see the steam rolling at the intersection of water and air.
How to feel this feeling? Perhaps you could try staying for a short time in the courtyard of an office building where four or five outdoor air conditioners are running intensely in the summer.
The second place is Agra, the city where the Taj Mahal is located. It was around 45 degrees the day we left because we had to walk barefoot during the tour, so imagine how hot the white marble was after being in the sun all day! That's what we call an ant on a pot! Later, I stopped caring about my image and jumped around like a zombie to ease some of the pain.
Let's talk about why India is so hot.
1. Just like in India, in winter people can freeze to death at 4 or 5 degrees Celsius above zero. Most of the dead live in slumsThey, generally without clothes, and sleep in the open air. can sleep outdoors. If you go down, you will either freeze to death or get so hot that you pass out from heat stroke.
2. Many Indians rely on coolies to earn money. In a high temperature of 48 degrees, many elderly people can still be seen pulling three-wheelers. If they do, they charge 5 yuan. Not working, they will have nothing to eat or drink. The reason is that it is easy to die suddenly in extreme weather conditions.
3. Dehydration is also a big reason. I personally saw a little girl washing her hair and bathing in a green puddle. In many areas, drinking water is very scarce. region. People are dying from lack of water.
