Kerala Heatwave

More than 50 people were killed after landslides swept through tea estates and homes in Kerala state on July 30. Heavy rains caused floods in capital New Delhi. Several rivers swelled up in Assam after seasonal monsoon rains.

Cold water, butter milk and oral rehydration solution (ORS) would be kept as per requirement in these water kiosks, known as 'thanneer pandals" in local parlance, across the state.

The Kerala government on Friday issued a health advisory with temperatures soaring in the southern state for the past few days due to the onset of summer.

Four passengers on the Kerala Express have died in Jhansi due to extreme heat while one passenger has been hospitalised in a critical condition, an official said.

There was no respite from heat in several parts of northern India with Sriganganagar and Phalodi in Rajasthan recording a maximum of over 47 degrees Celsius even as India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala during the next two€three days.

Kerala government will provide Rs 4 lakh in assistance to families of those who died due to extreme weather conditions and has decided to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare the state as "drought affected", State Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash said today.

Kerala is reeling under an intense heat wave with mercury scaling up in most places across the state making the drinking water and electricity crunch all the more grim.
