PRAYAGRAJ: The excruciating summer heat continued to torment people on Saturday, with the maximum temperature settling at 46.1 degrees Celsius. Though the mercury came down a bit from Friday’s high of 46.6 degrees Celsius, it was still six notches above the normal.
Even the minimum temperature of 25.8 degrees was one notch above normal. The stifling heatwave that is showing no signs of relenting has been keeping the residents indoors. With Eid round the corner, business is suffering as prominent markets wear a deserted look during the day and only those with urgent need venture out.
