India
Rajasthan is baking under a harsh heat wave right now, with some spots hitting a scorching 46 Celsius.
The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur has put out a heat wave alert, and dry, dusty winds are making things even tougher.
If you're in the state, hang tight, a western disturbance is expected to bring some much-needed thunderstorms and light rain around May 28-29.
Rajasthan may reach 47 Celsius
Sri Ganganagar hit the top at 46 Celsius on May 24, with Vanasthali and Churu not far behind.
Kota, Phalodi, Bikaner, and Jaipur have all been sweltering too.
Officials say things might get even hotter in western districts by May 26-27, possibly up to 47 Celsius in some places, but relief should follow as storms roll in later this week and into early June.
