Im british welcome to news asia its good to have you with us now what is the hottest weather you have ever experienced how about 48 degrees celsius that is how hot at least one location in delhi was on monday and then he along with northwestern india is in the grip of a sweltering heat wave temperatures have all but around the mid to high fortys last week in broad just recorded 50 degrees celsius making it the hottest place in the country and the 2nd hottest place on earth but relief is forecast in the coming days in the form of 3 monsoon showers in delhi and the Western State of. As the suns rays be down on delhi those that cant shelter indoors do what they can to protect themselves from the Relentless Assault many need to be outside to earn a living even though business is slow. Just the moderator a very few customers around the place is almost empty because of the heat we sit in our vehicles doing nothing for hours if it gets too hot we go and rest under the trees then we start again around 405 pm and work until late at night. For those trading in cool refreshments sales a brisk the main challenge is keeping drinks chilled in the blazing sun.

G. To Global Warming and india will be one of the worst sufferers human health is at risk along with our food and water supply. Although temperatures across india have now started to fall after 3 weeks of all time highs the summer of 2019 is on course to be the hottest in india since records began. I did a little sort of on the go to one of those struggling for heat she joins me now from delhi sonia good to see you how are you all that up. Well gratiot yesterday the moki retouched 48 degrees celsius. Creating really an all time record High Temperature for the capitol in june so yesterday it was really unbearable we had these hot dry winds sweeping the city they called the new so yes it was really difficult even staying outdoors for too long but i have to say you know i am somebody was a condition of the toll i can afford a condition transport so for me its not been so bad but i think its relentless heat has been especially hard on daleys homeless and the poor and of course those people who really dont have a choice but to continue working despite the scorching temperatures you know people like construction workers. Rickshaw drivers Traffic Police i think its been really tough on them exactly and its funding that to the rest of india last amanda was killed in a fight over water how desperate are people becoming. I mean its true that the scorching temperatures the sea on the heat wave that were seeing across the country has been particularly brutal in the c. E. O. And that has led to these clashes as you say you know last week the indian media reported that in the east of the state of shock and 6 people were stabbed by by a man when fights broke out over filling bottles of water from probably tank we saw similar scenes in the central state of mind to predation which you know record some of the record some of the highest temperatures in the country its not unusual i have to say to see these scenes in big cities in summer but they dont necessarily just have to do with the soaring temperatures you know in cities like delhi and mumbai even bangalore you know these routine fights over water also have to do with the fact that you know there is simply a higher demand for water and some wont but that the Water Infrastructure in many places has simply failed to keep place based with Rapid Organization and you also have the you know illegal ball wells in many places which have really decreased the level of groundwater in these areas so i think the water crunch and the fights around it dont necessarily have to do just with soaring temperatures.
