Pour un jour d'anniversaire, c'est un beau cadeau!

Certains me diront qu'en Europe ou Amérique du Nord il fait dans les -10°C/-20°C en ce moment, et que je ne devrais pas me plaindre... Et ben si, je me plains, car les infrastructures de la capitale ne sont absolument pas adaptées à des températures proches de 0°C, et franchement, on se les gèle!!!

Heureusement que j'ai investi dans le chauffage cette année...

Je ne sais pas quel est le nombre de décès dus au froid dans les rues de France, mais je crains que celui de Delhi ne plafonne cette année... C'est assez déprimant de voir tous ces gens mourir de froid et se chauffer avec des déchets brûlés...

Delhi shivers on coldest day for 44 years

 

The Meteorological Office said it was the first time since records began in 1969 that Delhi's maximum fell into single digits

The Indian capital, Delhi, has shivered through its coldest day for 44 years, with dense fog causing travel chaos.

Temperatures fell to a minimum for the day of 4.8C while the maximum temperature in the city was down 11 degrees at 9.8C.

The Meteorological Office said it was the first time since records began in 1969 that the city's maximum was in single digits.
Forecasters say the unusual conditions will continue for the next few days.

Unlike the West, Indian homes rarely have central heating.

The dense fog has also been causing travel chaos, with air and rail traffic severely disrupted.
More than 30 flights were either cancelled or diverted on Wednesday while the previous day more than 100 flights were affected as visibility fell to near-zero levels, officials said.
Dozens of trains were also cancelled or delayed due to the poor weather.
The cold snap has also been sweeping through many parts of the northern states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

More than 100 dead as cold snap hits India

LUCKNOW, India (AP) - Police say more than 100 people have died of exposure as northern India deals with historically cold temperatures.
Police spokesman Surendra Srivastava said Thursday that at least 114 people have died from the cold in the state of Uttar Pradesh. At least 23 of those died in the past 24 hours.
Srivastava said many of the dead were poor people whose bodies were found on sidewalks or in parks.

The weather department said temperatures in the state were 4 to 10 degrees Celsius below normal.

Temperatures in New Delhi, which borders Uttar Pradesh, hit a high Wednesday of 9.8 degrees (49.6 Fahrenheit), the lowest maximum temperature in the capital since 1969.
