Despite hopes that weekend thundershowers would help end a raging heat wave in southern India, the rain brought only limited relief as the death toll since mid-April climbed past 2,200.
Officials say the intense heat is likely to continue for another day in worst-hit Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states.
K.Y. Reddy, a director of the Meteorological Center in the Telangana state capital of Hyderabad, said Sunday that daytime temperatures hovered between 45 and 47 degrees Celsius (113-116 Fahrenheit) in some parts of the two states over the weekend. Thundershowers brought relief to people in other areas.
