For many residents of Banda, a town in northern India, just getting through each day is a challenge. 

Global warming, caused mostly by the burning of fuels like gas, oil and coal, is making heat waves across India more frequent and intense.

In May, temperatures reached 48.2 Celsius (118.8 Fahrenheit), one of multiple times this year that the town recorded the country’s highest temperature for the day. Climatologist and weather historian Maximiliano Herrera also said Banda was the hottest spot on Earth seven times this year, most of them in April.
