Extreme temperatures have killed at least 133 people in two populous Indian states as weather experts warned climate change had made parts of southern Asia 30 times more prone to searing heatwaves.
The hot weather has reportedly claimed 68 lives in four days since 15 June in Uttar Pradesh, but officials contested this figure saying they were still looking into the cause of deaths in the northern Indian state, where temperatures hovered between 41 and 45 degrees celsius.
