This year, summer-related complications are showing up earlier than usual, with fatalities from heat stroke already nearing a dozen in Maharashtra.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warns of an intensifying heat wave across eastern Uttar Pradesh, the Konkan, Goa and Andhra Pradesh. “Persistent severe heatwave conditions are expected to affect West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha until Friday.

Weather forecasters predict light rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning in these areas over the weekend, from Friday to Sunday." said IMD.

Ray Romano “lucky” to be alive after health scare
Everybody Loves Raymond from 1996-2005 as well as films including Ice Age, The Big Sick and The Irishman, spoke about his health scare in a new interview on WTF with Marc Maron.Romano spoke about how he’d suffered for years with high cholesterol – something that led to a 90 per cent blockage in his main artery.He said: “I had high cholesterol 20 years ago and my guy always told me, ‘Why don’t we start going on the statin?’ Every time, I said, ‘Let me do it myself.'”Romano said he would go home and try to eat healthier to reverse the cholesterol himself, but admitted that it wasn’t successful – a pattern that lasted for 16 years.He said he “would go home and eat a little healthier and get it down a couple ticks”, but then his doctor would say: “It was 280 and now its 220 – you gotta get it down even more.”“But I’d go home and think I was hot shit – that was the cycle,” he continued.The actor said that he had to “have a stent put in” because he had “90 per cent blockage” in the artery deemed “the widow-maker”.“I got kind of lucky that we found it,” he continued, saying that he “would have gone on the meds” sooner had he realised how serious it was.Talking about getting older, he said: “Saying 50 was weird, but saying 60 sounds foreign, it sounds fake. In my head I don’t feel that old.
