Usually, busy people bustle through the city streets of India. But these days the streets feel empty. Why? Because it is hot, hot, hot!

In the last month, the temperature in India has gotten up to 117 degrees! People should not go outside in that kind of weather, unless they’re going to swim in cool water. But some people have to go out. They must work to support their families. Because of the heat, over a thousand people near the state of Andhra Pradesh have died.

Monsoon rains should come to India in the next few weeks. The people cannot wait! You can pray to God to send rain to them soon.
