Allahabad, India. 8th June, 2015. Passengers rest at platform as they waiting for train during a hot day at Allahabad junction. The death toll from the blistering heat wave in India exceeded 2,500 on Sunday as weather officials said the sweltering conditions would persist for another four or five days. Pre-monsoon showers late last week in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states in south India, where the bulk of casualties have occurred, provided some relief as daytime temperatures dropped to normal average levels.

Passengers rest at platform as they waiting for train during a hot day at Allahabad junction. The death toll from the blistering heat wave in India exceeded 2,500 on Sunday as weather officials said the sweltering conditions would persist for another four or five days. Pre-monsoon showers late last week in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states in south India, where the bulk of casualties have occurred, provided some relief as daytime temperatures dropped to normal average levels. But the region remained in the heat wave’s grip Sunday as temperatures hovered between 108 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit, authorities said. (Photo by Prabhat Kumar Verma / Pacific Press)
