Temperatures across India have surpassed all previous records. The mercury level in Delhi-NCR and parts of north-west India is hovering above the 45 degrees Celsius mark. Since the beginning of the summer season in March this year, several parts of the country have been reporting severe hot weather. But a Twitter user found a unique and humorous way to plead for lowering of the temperature.

“Srishti Pandey”, the user, tagged actor Shah Rukh Khan and made a reference to his 2001 film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G).
“Dear @iamsrk Sooraj ko madham karwado please (please dim the Sun),” Delhi-based Ms Pandey said in her tweet. The tweet refers to “Suraj Hua Maddham”, a song in Khan-starrer K3G.
The post was initially shared by a user, ‘Srishti Pandey’. Soon after she posted the tweet, users started a thread, adding more references from the film.
The India Meteorological Department(IMD) has issued a ‘Yellow’ warning for three days — from April 29 to May 1 — for Delhi and areas in northwest India. Parts of western Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand have also been experiencing severe hot weather in this month.
A heatwave in the plains is declared when the maximum temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius and at least 4.5 degrees above normal and at least 30 degrees Celsius or more for hilly regions.
