Bangalore is worst hit on heat waves

[Sanjay Chaturvedi]

Dear Colleagues,

Bangalore is worst hit with heat waves. The ground water has gone 1500 ft below the ground and Air conditioners sale is having waiting list of 10 to 15 days.

What is the recourse we can think of?

While I'm sure it's hot in Bangalore, one need to be careful when using terms casually on a climate change forum. :)

A heat wave is when temperature reaches 5 degrees (C) above normal for at least a 5-day period consecutively. Present weather in Bangalore cannot be called a heat wave yet. For the month of May, 1971-1990 average max temperature for Bangalore is 33.2C. For it to be declared a heatwave scientifically, temperature has to reach 38.2C for five days consecutively. 

Looking at historic data for the first week of May, it hasn't gone beyond 37C a single day.

Thanks,

Manu

Thank Manu for correcting me, I was keen on recourse for dropping ground water level.
