Kolkata experienced scorching temperatures, reaching a high of 43 degrees Celsius, the hottest in 70 years. The last time such heat was felt was in 1954. With a relentless heatwave gripping the city, relief seems distant. The Met Office forecasts similar temperatures for the next four days, with an orange warning for heatwave in eight districts until May 4. However, there's a glimmer of hope as rainfall is expected next week, possibly bringing relief to the sweltering city. Residents brace themselves for the intense heat while eagerly awaiting the much-needed rain.
