Summer to be a nightmare

Parigi:Mercury appears to touch 39 or 40 degrees Celsius in March going by the current trend. People are predicting that the summer would be severe if the current level of Mercury zooming up is any indication. 

If the increase in the day temperature is so marked even before the winter season is fully over, the people are apprehensive of experiencing the worst ever summer in April and May, when the Mercury would sizzle.  

The town recorded 33 degrees Celsius on February 25 and soon it reached 35 degrees Celsius mark within 24 hours.
  
Minimum temperatures are hovering around 21 degrees Celsius. As the clock strikes nine, the Mercury starts soaring. There is marked difference in day and night temperatures. In the morning, cool breeze sweeps across the town. 

In tune with the changing climatic conditions, residents of the town have to change their life style. Therefore, they have started using air-conditioners and other alternatives as the Mercury raises. 

They are seen flocking to tank bunds, summer resorts on the town’s outskirts and water parks to beat the heat.The senior citizens are apprehensive of setting their foot out of homes fearing sunstroke. 

Sellers of cooling glasses, umbrellas, sugar cane juice, cool drinks, ice-creams, butter milk, water melons, hand fans and other seasonal goods are making a brisk business. 
Children, the aged and senior citizens face the risk of sun stroke if the day temperatures continue to increase in this fashion.
