Hyderabad summer

Sensitive earth v/s powerful sun!

Heat waves are currently hitting Hyderabad’s atmosphere. The bad news is that this is just the beginning.

Temperatures are soaring above 40⁰ Celsius. Most people are avoiding going outside in the afternoon as it could lead to sunstrokes. Businesses and shopping malls are vacant during the day time, and No more chaos on the road. Most of the business is done in the late evenings. Power cuts are inevitable (certain to happen). The total power generated in summer is expected to reach 35% in domestic use.

 This is adding more misery for the people. We are anticipating (be aware of) and increasing domestic use due to the use of air conditioners in summer. These products are in great demand.

 “We sold 20 ⁰/₀ more units of air cooling products this season than the previous year”, said Mr. Sam the manager (sales) of kajaj electronics a leading home appliances dealer.

Some city schools put students through grind of special classes. There is no summer respite (rest or relief from something difficult) for student. Despite (in spite of ) mercury touching 42⁰ C. Some schools , instead of announcing summer vacations are still conducting special classes till the second week of May. The city sweated it out on Wednesday to record this summer’s highest temperature- 41.9^OC. Meteorological  department officials attributed (caused by or reason) the raise in temperatures to dry northwesterly winds.

 They said that dry winds coming in from central India and passing over telangana region had led to the soaring heat. And according to met officials, chances are that the mercury will keep inching(move slowly and carefully) northwards with prediction (something that will happen in the future)being that this might even touch 42⁰ C on Thursday.

Met department director said that the current temperature of three degrees above normal is not unusual for this time of the year and warned that relief may now be possible only upon advent of the monsoon. It is necessary to consume a lot of fluids like water, fresh fruit juices, coconut water etc. Excessive (too much) dehydration of skin has to be prevented by using mild water-based moisturizers which prevent further water loss from the skin.
