India is in the grip of a brutal heat wave and even the asphalt on the roads is melting.

India is in the grip of a brutal heat wave and in some parts, temperatures are so high that even the roads are melting. The disfigured road markings can be seen at several intersections in New Delhi.
Temperatures in the city have gone as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit recently and are expected to hover around 110 degrees in the next several days.
Other areas around the country have been hit even harder. The Associated Press reports that nearly 1,100 people have died across the country as a result of soaring temperatures.
