India Swelters in Deadly Heat Wave (washingtonpost.com)
HYDERABAD, India (AP) –– India baked in a heat wave Friday so intense that mud huts became as hot as ovens and birds in trees dropped dead, villagers said. This month's heat has killed 638 people nationwide. Officials described the temperatures exceeding 115 degrees as "a natural calamity." In Andhra Pradesh state, 622 people died. Temperatures there reached a record 124 degrees, said D.C. Roshaiah, an official in charge of relief work in the state.
