From the BBC News : India weather: Dangerous temperatures arrive early
A heatwave across most of India has led to a hotter than usual summer in much of the country. Broadcast meteorologist Peter Gibbs describes the situation.
Dozens of deaths have been reported in the south Indian states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and the city of Bhubaneswar in Orissa experienced its hottest April day on record on Monday, temperatures peaking at 45.8C.
The run-up to the Indian monsoon season is always characterised by weeks of strong sunshine and increasing heat but this year, life-threatening temperature levels have set in rather earlier and more widely than normal.
The heatwave extends across much of northern India with temperatures having exceeded 40C for several days in a row.

While there are signs that the heatwave may ease slightly in West Bengal and Orissa, statistically the hottest months of the summer are yet to come.
Permanent relief from the heat only comes with the arrival of the monsoon, normally in mid-June.
There is not much more to be said. Sorry if I distracted you from the election. On the other hand maybe you need to think about this for the outcome of the election will have some effect on how quickly this gets worse.
