Agra continues to simmer under intense heat wave

Agra (Uttar Pradesh), July 7 (ANI): Soaring temperature has made life miserable for people in Uttar Pradesh's Agra city, as the city continues to reel under intense heat wave situation on Tuesday.

People who were earlier hoping to get some respite from the monsoon showers are now upset as there has been scanty rainfall in the region.

The scorching sun has aggravated the heat in the area and the temperature recorded in the past couple of days has oscillated between 43 and 44 degrees Celsius.

Tourists who frequent the city to visit 'Taj Mahal' have been forced to endure a tough time coping with the intense heat.

"It's very hot and not so comfortable. Not so fine to stand here for few hours," said Staniel, a tourist from Austria.

The unusual heat wave has forced people to remain indoors while the roads have been presenting a deserted look in the city. (ANI)
