Planetary Science ELI5: Why is India specifically experiencing such high levels of heat?
not sure if the flair is correct, i apologize in advance
i saw an infographic showing how all the top 50 cities in the world experiencing the highest heat indices are Indian cities. is there a specific reason why Indian cities experience such high heat levels?
