Sunday, 2026/06/07110 words2 minutes535 reads
Banda is a place in India. It is very hot there. In May, the temperature was 47-48°C for many days. This is very, very hot.
People in Banda work outside. They work early in the morning. They stop working at noon because it is too hot. They start working again in the evening. The market opens at 6am and closes at 8am. Everyone wants to go home before the heat gets worse.
Poor people must work in the heat. They have no choice. They need money. Some workers hide under trucks to eat lunch. They look for shade everywhere. The heat makes people sick. Hospitals see many patients every day.
