After intense heat, they say, comes the rain. It's around 0110 HRS on May
15, and its has been pouring for nearly the past half hour in our part of
Goa... and possibly other areas too. Some respite, hopefully from the
water shortages too. (But then, the piped water being so unreliable, we
had to face shortages even just after the monsoons last year!) --FN

90 die as killer heat stalks India

By Paloma Ganguly, Indo-Asian News Service

New Delhi, May 14 (IANS) Nearly 90 people have died in a terrible heat wave
sweeping India, but the weatherman is promising some respite - and soon.

Sunstroke has killed at least 37 people while 104 people taken seriously ill
in the eastern state of Orissa in the past fortnight, an official said
Tuesday.

In the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, officials have put the death toll
at 50 although unofficial sources estimate it could be double that number.

The temperature almost everywhere in north India is about four degrees above
the normal 40 degree Celsius.....
