Northern India endures a heatwave, and a wave of deaths - New York Times (www.nytimes.com)

Uttar Pradesh in northern India is suffering a deadly heatwave, where the dreaded Wet Bulb effects you've probably heard of are become an immediate threat:

The heat in this part of India has been hovering around the critical “wet-bulb temperature,” the threshold beyond which the human body cannot cool itself to a survivable point by perspiration, defined as 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), adjusted for 100 percent humidity. The wet-bulb reading in Ballia on Saturday reached 34.15 degrees Celsius (about 93 degrees Fahrenheit).

In India, where regions are in varying states of development and there is such a high population, getting reliable data on excess deaths can be difficult. Doctors are anecdotally describing higher numbers of deaths than usual, and attributing them to the heat.

However, the Indian government, while not outright denying it, apparently considers the evidence to not yet be substantial enough to point the finger at global warming:

Dr. Diwakar Singh, formerly the chief medical superintendent of Ballia District, told reporters on Friday night that 34 people had died of heat stroke at the main hospital under his oversight. The next day, he...was removed as chief medical superintendent of Ballia District Hospital by the state government for “giving a careless statement on deaths caused by heatwave without having proper information”.
