India: Rain would only bring relief from intense heat in Kanpur

Kanpur: Intense heat has created a different scene here. The main wide road looks quite vacant as the people avoid moving during the day.

The mercury soars higher making the condition unbearable. On Tuesday the real feel of the temperature remains at 41° C.

While going to a shop on the road not far from his house in the Jajmau area the boy told there were no people on the road at about 2.23 in the day.

When he was asked why did you venture to go out he replied he needed to purchase noodles for lunch.

His face was reflective of the hotness of the day. There were drops of perspiration on his forehead. However, he gathered enough guts to go to the nearby shop.

The India Meteorological Department has predicted a few places in central UP including Kanpur and adjoining areas will experience rain from Thursday. Residents feel this would bring solace from the heat.
