The current heat wave in India is making roads 'melt'
Andhra Pradesh suffered the most: 884 people have died as a result of the searing heat since 18 May.
But it’s not much cooler in the north of the country. In New Delhi, the temperature is so high that the asphalt road has started to melt.
Local meteorologists said the heat was a result of north-westerly dry and hot winds from Rajasthan state, which shares a border with Pakistan.
