Scorching hot in India how do they accommodate from the unbearable heat. They must be slightly more resilient compared to us, but that is exceptional. 120F will never be achieved in the UK I don't think it's possible, 40C will be pushing it. An island is not meant to be steamy.

That is silly hot, does it come with the humidity as well?

I experienced 110f in Oklahoma, thoroughly unpleasant. I imagine even the biggest heat lovers would struggle. 120f must be horrendous!

This sort of heat if it last for any length of time has the potential to kill a lot of people.

It's currently the peak of the pre-monsoon build-up in that part of India, when the temperatures build until the monsoon rains arrive in earnest. The onset of the monsoon should take place some time this month.

About right AC, India's monsoon officially arrived on the 6th, six days late
