In summer in India, the temperature is over 50℃, and the rich people blow air conditioners at home. What should the poor do?

The temperature in India is very high in summer.

India, located in the South Asian subcontinent, is the largest country in the region. It borders Bangladesh and Myanmar in the east, Sri Lanka across the sea in the southeast, Bhutan and China in the north and Pakistan in the west.

Most of India's territory is located in the tropics, and the climate is dominated by tropical monsoon. The annual high temperature can be divided into two obvious seasons: dry season and rainy season. The annual average temperature is over 22 degrees Celsius, and even the temperature in Leng Yue can reach 16 degrees Celsius in winter.

High temperature seems to have become a common thing in India, especially during the period from mid-May to mid-September every year, "death high temperature" weather often appears. At this time, due to the prevalence of tropical cyclones, the local weather in India is extremely hot, and the high temperature weather is basically maintained above 40 degrees. In some years, there is often a "death high temperature" exceeding 50 degrees.

Around the end of May 2020, the weather in New Delhi, India has already exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.

It's hot, and we all feel it deeply. Every summer, it is always so hot that we only dare to hide in the air-conditioned room and dare not go out at will. Like living in the south of China, when the air is humid and the weather is hot, you will be sweating in less than ten minutes. The feeling of being hot, sticky and greasy is really unbearable.

In India, because the temperature is too high and the tail is still in the dry season in May, it often leads to drought. The conditions of people living in poor areas are extremely difficult, and even people who die because of high temperature often happen.

When midsummer comes, rich people in India blow air conditioners at home. What should the poor do?

Maybe we are all used to turning on the air conditioner in summer, so we don't have to be afraid of the heat even in summer. But in India, air-conditioning coverage is extremely low.

According to the report of the International Energy Agency, only 5% of Indian households are equipped with air conditioners, and the per capita electricity consumption for air conditioners is 70 kWh. And about 60% of our families already have air conditioning.

In other words, the few people who can happily blow air conditioners in India are only the local rich. It is difficult for Indians to enjoy air conditioning.

So, how do poor Indians who can't afford to install air conditioners spend the hot days in summer? In fact, the local people invented this "artifact".

This is a "simple" air conditioner modified by Indians with special materials, and the cost is very low, not more than 300 yuan. It is indeed a "longevity artifact" for many poor people in India in summer.

Indians invented a kind of earth air conditioner called Kule. It consists of three straws and a fan. It looks a bit like an air conditioner, with a water storage tank at the bottom.

The water pump pumps water to the top of the air conditioner, wetting the straw from top to bottom, and the wind from the fan takes away the water vapor in the straw, which reduces the surrounding temperature. The principle is similar to that of air conditioning fan, which can quickly achieve the effect of cooling and relieving summer heat.

The installation and manufacture of "Dadi Air Conditioning" is very simple, with low power consumption, and the ambient temperature can be reduced to below 10 degrees in a short time.

It also relies on "earth air conditioning" to help many poor people who can't afford air conditioning to bring coolness. Many families in India have installed this kind of air conditioner.
