Can the 2015 Indian heat wave feature picture be adapted? - Tenebris 66.11.171.90 (talk) 02:19, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chennai runs out of water

does this count as part of the impact ? seems likely but that might be original research?? EdwardLane (talk) 15:39, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@EdwardLane: I think that eventually deserves to be added here. I will be looking for articles that specifically make the connection between this heat wave and that water shortage. Merlin^s orca 07:21, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to climate change

Does this any relation to climate change? That'd be an interesting information to put in the article. --Bageense^(disc.) 13:12, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, according to this source climate change is one cause of the intensifying heat waves. Will add when I get a chance. Anyone else is also welcome to add it in. Merlin^s orca 04:44, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to reference

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the first paragraph, in what is currently the fifth reference (MSN News), please change "title=India staring at longest heatwave in 3-decade" to "title=India staring at longest heatwave in 3 decades" - that is, replace the hyphen with a space and make "decade" plural. This will make the title correct. Thanks 2A01:4C8:103B:9A86:1166:2EF:F6CA:967B (talk) 11:52, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
