Excerpts:
"Parts of northern and central India are sweltering under a severe heatwave, with a provisional record temperature of 52.3C (126.1F) registered in Delhi. If verified, it would be the highest ever recorded in India. More than 37 cities in the country recorded temperatures over 45C this week."
"The extreme heat comes as coastal parts of eastern India and southern Bangladesh were hit by Cyclone Remal - killing dozens of people. Meanwhile, the IMD has also predicted an above-average monsoon season for the country this year. The monsoon is forecast to hit the coast of the southern state of Kerala on 31 May."
