Tea stall installs water spray to tackle scorching heat in Erode – The Hindu

As temperatures continue to hover above 104°F in Erode, a tea shop on Bhavani Road has come up with an innovative way to beat the heat by installing a water spray system, earning appreciation from customers and passers-by alike.

The summer heat has intensified across the State, with Erode witnessing temperatures ranging between 100°F and 105°F since early March. The harsh sun, coupled with dry and hot winds during the day, has made it difficult for people to step out, particularly in the afternoons, affecting routine activities and small businesses.
