This is the best summary I could come up with:


Temperatures in Delhi soared to a record-high of 49.9C (121.8F), as authorities warned of water shortages in India’s capital.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD), which reported “severe heatwave conditions”, recorded the temperatures on Tuesday at two Delhi suburbs stations at Narela and Mungeshpur.

The IMD warned of the heat’s impact on health, especially for infants, elderly people and those with chronic diseases.

Years of scientific research have found climate change is causing heatwaves to become longer, more frequent and more intense.

Rajasthan’s desert region of Phalodi holds the country’s all-time heat record, hitting 51C in 2016.

Bangladesh’s Meteorological Department said the cyclone was “one of longest in the country’s history”, blaming climate change for the shift.
