In a shocking demonstration of the extreme heat, a man in Akola, Maharashtra, was seen preparing an omelette directly on the floor — with no stove — as temperatures crossed 45°C.
The incident, captured in a viral video, highlights just how intense the ongoing heatwave has become in the region. The egg sizzled on the heated surface, showing how unbearable the heat is for locals.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heatwave alerts for several parts of Vidarbha and other regions across the country. With temperatures soaring past 45°C, the heat is so intense that even streets feel like ovens. IMD issues alerts as heat waves grip the country. This is not just summer, it is a warning
According to the IMD, the current wave of extreme temperatures is being intensified by climate change and global weather phenomena like El Niño.
What is El Niño?
El Niño is a climate pattern caused by unusually warm ocean waters in the Equatorial Pacific. It can lead to droughts in some areas and flooding in others, affecting weather conditions worldwide. Experts believe El Niño is contributing to the record-breaking heat in India this year.
As the heatwave continues, authorities are advising people to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Health experts are also warning against heatstroke and related illnesses, especially for children, the elderly, and outdoor workers.
This viral video from Akola is more than just shocking—it’s a wake-up call. With climate patterns changing rapidly, India must prepare for more frequent and intense summers in the years to come.
