Death toll from heatwave in southern India reaches 430
<http://sg.news.yahoo.com/030527/1/3bbh9.html>http://sg.news.yahoo.com/030527/1/3bbh9.html

""So far 430 deaths have been reported to us by our district officials,"
D.C. Rosaiah, state relief commissioner, told AFP.

Rosaiah said the actual toll could be higher since not all sunstroke deaths
were reported to the government.

The extended hot spell has seen temperatures cross the 50 degrees Celsius
(122 Fahrenheit) mark. Media reports said the temperature hit 52.1 degrees
Celsius (125.8 Fahrenheit) in the northern town of Kottagudam on Monday.

"The severity of the heatwave has come down in some areas. However, there
are several pockets where the heatwave conditions persist and that could
continue for at least another week," said C.V.V. Bhadram, director of the
Hyderabad Meteorological Centre."
