India's Kerala shuts schools, colleges amid sweltering heat

The state government of Kerala on Thursday urged people to avoid burns and to minimize sun exposure.

The government issued a government-advisory heat warning for all educational facilities until Monday as a result of several districts ‘ thunderstorm warnings.

Heatwaves have also resulted in school closings in some parts of Asia and North Africa, causing learning spaces between developed countries in the tropic and developed countries, according to experts told Reuters.

Authorities are yet to say whether at least two people in Kerala died as a result of intense heat, but regional media reported that at least two persons died earlier this year.

The state capital Thiruvananthapuram experienced a 35-degree heat on Thursday, but the IMD reported that due to the high humidity, it felt like it was 46 degrees Celsius.

In other parts of India, high temperatures and dry magic have resulted in numerous forest fires, and people have burned the forests to get a plant used to make liquor in Odisha state, which has increased the fires.
