The temperature around Mumbai has reached such heights that the railway tracks between Badlapur and Ambernath stations had bent due to the high temperatures. The people responsible for maintaining the tracks decided to cover it with leaves in order to cool the metal down, however, this is not the long-term solution to save things from melting away in this scorching heat.

“Heatwave conditions likely to prevail at isolated places over greater Mumbai, Raigad, and Ratnagiri during the next 48 hours,” read the warning that was issued by the weather bureau on Wednesday (March 28).

Here are some of the hilarious tweets under #MumbaiHeat trend, nothing can get more innovative than this.
