More than 1,150 people have reportedly died in the heat wave sweeping across India, melting roads in New Delhi as temperatures neared 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit). The temperature has been steady around 113°F and the Hindustan Times newspaper has printed pictures of pedestrian walkways melting in the insane heat. Local meteorologists said the heat was a result of north-westerly dry and hot winds from Rajasthan state, which shares a border with Pakistan.
