Banda district in Uttar Pradesh, India, is experiencing extreme heat with temperatures exceeding 48°C, forcing the town to effectively shut down by 10am daily. Residents have adapted by completing work early in the morning, with businesses seeing almost no customers during peak heat hours. The sustained high temperatures have placed Banda among India's most extreme heat locations, alongside Rajasthan's Churu and Jaisalmer.
