I'm reading The Ministry for the Future right now, a near-future novel which starts with a horrific heatwave in India that kills 20 million people.
Meanwhile here in the real world, it may have hit 52°C in Delhi yesterday (they are literally checking out the machine that recorded that one reading, in case it's faulty, because that temperature is so shockingly high.)
