A fire extinguishing vehicle of the municipal council being used to sprinkle water on a road to provide relief from the scorching sun during a hot summer day in Beawar city of Rajasthan state of India on Tuesday, May 28, 2024.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for heatwave in several northern Indian cities including Rajasthan.

In scorching Rajasthan, Phalodi reached a blistering 50 degrees Celsius, turning Sunday into a real test of endurance for people across India, especially those heading out to cast their votes in the ongoing elections.

The India Meteorological Department noted that this is the highest temperature recorded since June 1, 2019, when Churu, also in Rajasthan, felt the heat at 50.8 degrees Celsius.

Let's not forget Phalodi's record-setting moment back in 2016, when it hit a blazing 51 degrees Celsius.
