No celebration at all in my country. While we boast the highest diversity in our land, this event leaves us with no choice than to stay inside. It's scorching hot and also too humid outside.
I live in the foothills of the great Himalyas on the banks of India's largest river with more than 70% covering of forests in and around 200 sq/km, the temperature has remained above 40 consistently in last 1 month or so.
Dude, climb these mountains to stay cooler. 40 degrees is nuts....wow How do you stay cool and I mean practically? Dig a big hole in the ground and stay there for months? lol

I've climbed up the mountains twice within the last 30 days.
It's sometimes even 45 degrees. Today is a little respite, though it's still 40° C, due to late night showers.
We do have basement in our house which is cooler than everywhere else. In the afternoons, we stay put there.
