At present, the whole of India is so hot that it has exceeded the limits of conventional survival perception. Extreme high temperatures of 48 degrees Celsius have become a daily norm in many areas.Recently, the northwestern and central plains of India have experienced persistent extreme high temperatures. Temperatures have frequently exceeded historical extremes since local meteorological records began. Large-scale sustained heat waves have had a severe impact on local people's daily lives, public health and safety, agricultural production order and even the overall economic operation. On May 25, the highest temperature at sites in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra was directly measured at 47.6 degrees Celsius.
Under long-term unobstructed high-temperature exposure, the water in the water storage towers placed on the roofs of many residents' houses was completely boiling hot. The measured water temperature was even higher than the temperature produced by ordinary household water heaters.
A video shot by a local resident that has recently gone viral on the Internet shows:After an ordinary family in India turned on the tap at home, the real-time temperature of the tap water measured was as high as nearly 51 degrees Celsius., completely beyond ordinary people's conventional understanding of normal temperature tap water.
Faced with this extreme heat disaster that affects hundreds of millions of people, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a public statement on the extreme heat weather, reminding people across the country to immediately take various preventive measures to prevent heatstroke and avoid the health risks caused by high temperatures as much as possible.

At present, the Indian Meteorological Department has continued to issue the highest level of high temperature warning for many densely populated provinces such as Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab, predicting that this round of extremely high temperature weather covering a wide range of areas will continue at least until the end of May.
