The peninsular India, which includes Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Marathwada, Vidarbha and isolated regions of Karnataka, have been experiencing unprecedented heat waves according to private weather forecasting agency Skymet.

The heat wave conditions have forced the closure of schools early and instead of April 23; the government closed the schools early from April 16 to June 12 when the monsoon are scheduled to hit the state. The labor department has also issued an order banning laborers from working on construction sites from 11 AM to 3 PM.

The heat wave has so far claimed 35 lives in Telangana, according to an official report on Wednesday. However there is some relief in the coming two days, and the weather office has forecast light to moderate rain.
