Indian heatwave exposes a cooling challenge for fresh food

Quick Summary:

India's heatwave hits small vendors hardest as they cannot keep produce fresh and customers stay off the streets.

The withering heatwave hitting northern India has dealt a double blow to market fruit and vegetable sellers - more of their produce is spoilt, while buyers stay at home and ordering online.

This marks the third straight year that India has grappled with severe heatwaves and scientists say global warming is making such heatwaves more intense, frequent and widespread. Image: Andrea Kirkby, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Flickr.
