Everyone in vadodara will whine to you about how bad it is there. Every year my skin starts burning and i get sick in that city during summertime.
Drink lots and lots of water. Don't go outside at day times as the heat is unbearable. Stay inside and turn on your air cooler instead. That's how personally I'm dealing with it but I know people who is going with their daily lives despite the rise in temperature. And fasting also became much harder.
A colleague from India showed me a video of someone frying an egg on the seat of his scooter. They also told me their A/C in the car broke and they had to shower twice.
I guess many old people die from this. Have you looked at youtube for personal experiences? Many expats and even some people born in India vlog.
worst thing is that it's happening in Ramzan, so many people will be dehydrated too
The Ministry for the Future, by Kim Stanley Robinson.
The first chapter, which describes a heat wave that reaches a lethal wet-bulb temperature, Robinson's counterpoint to people advocating adaptation, was described by reviewers as gut-wrenching and some of Robinson's most stunning and grimmest writing.
