Hottest Season! Summer is here, and so have the cities become hotter. Garmi ke din aaye hain! But not all enjoy this heat when it crosses a certain temperature. We all wait for summer for blooms, treks, vacations, enjoying summer drinks, meals, and also get a chance to start up our coolers and air conditioners.
Well, some love summer, some hate it for sure. Many pick fitness programs, and many escape the heat and travel to colder regions and places.
Jumping into a river, pond, or swimming pool is definitely a yes!
But have you ever wondered why some places in India are warmer, and some are cooler? Is it global warming or just us humans who are making certain cities not worth a visit in summer? Let us take you to some places in India where you should avoid for sure, as it’s quite a hot deal out there.
Hottest Cities and certain states in India are located in such geographic locations that, no matter how hard one tries to keep it cool, it’s bound to be hot.
Places near the equator or cities with maximum pollution with less greenery. Not many water resources or sources can keep it cool. Hence, it takes human efforts to manage and take precautionary measures to live or visit such places.
Phalodi is a place you can’t be this summer. Right in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, it hits up to 51degrees.
You definitely need to be indoors and use the air conditioner. I think it’s only the ones who are locals who will be able to deal with this heat. If we are not right early hours till 730am before sunrises can give you a little air from the heat.
Once the sun hits the desert, you rush indoors. From April, it’s killer heat till June. The city has been famous for its trade business for over a decade.
So usually you will see shops and markets shut down during the heat wave hours, which are from 11 am, and you can see places open up post 5 pm.
Desert coolers with khas khas grass, ice cold water in it, makes its super perfect for a good after nap. In case you’re here, cover your heads and faces with cotton clothes to beat the outdoor heat.
Hottest Summer ! Aaya Mausam thande thande dermicool ka !
You will also see some efforts by the Rajasthan government with some cooler tents, water sprays, and water facilities. Several instructions are also given for tourists and locals to avoid being victims of heat waves and summer illnesses.
Always better to stay hydrated if you plan to visit Thar.
The walls and some spaces are built with double wall insulation to avoid the house and shops getting too hot.
A gateway to the Thar desert comes the place called Churu.
Yes, that’s also another of the hottest places one should avoid this summer. Churu also crosses its temperature over 50s, making it a scorching sun and hot winds.
Guess what’s along with papad and your clothes, super quick, they dry, you will be amazed. Well, you’ve definitely seen videos of making dosa on bike seats. Well, that’s totally true as a cool experiment if you’re here.
The outdoors are dam hot, so why stay indoors and miss the Manali snow?
Locals here even have to save water for the season and use it sensibly.
Sri Ganga Nagar in Rajasthan also hits about a 50-degree temperature. Dry scorchy, and hottest again.
In Central India, the orange city is considered to be the hottest. It’s close to hitting the temperature high, just like Phalodi and Churu.
Nagpur, we all know, gives us such lovely oranges each year, but it comes with a great price of it’s heated up weather due to its geographic location closer to the equator.
Peak months reach from 48 degrees and above to 56 at times.
So, March to May is too hot to handle. High consumption of electricity in the state all over as ACS and coolers work 24/7.
Also, Haryana and Punjab are no less than Jalandhar and Faridakot with temperatures high in heat.
So if you happen to be there, it’s alright to take the right precaution and local support to beat the heat. But better to avoid and head to cooler, colder places and chuck the summers into snow and swimming zones.
