Watch: Rajasthan man installs makeshift shower on scooter amid heatwave

Amid a brutal heatwave gripping several parts of India, a Jodhpur resident has taken an innovative approach to beat the heat. The man's clever ‘jugaad’ involves installing a makeshift shower on his scooter, capturing the attention and admiration of social media users. A content creator named ‘Fun with Singh’ recorded this inventive solution, showcasing the man riding his scooter while enjoying a ‘mini shower’ from a plastic water dispenser attached to the floorboard.

The video shared on the Instagram page 'Fun with Singh' on June 3, quickly went viral, amassing over 830,000 likes and numerous comments. Social media users were impressed by the man's creativity, with one commenting, "source of attraction," while another noted, "Garmi me bhi thandi ka ehsaas." A third user remarked, "Definitely relieved from heat." The video reflects the lengths to which people will go to find relief from extreme weather conditions, and the sentiment “India is not for beginners” resonated widely on X, as users shared the clip.

This innovative solution comes as many parts of North India suffer under severe heatwave conditions. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Delhi and its neighbouring states, including Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, warning of dangerously high temperatures expected to continue until June 19. In stark contrast, the northeastern states are experiencing heavy rainfall. The IMD has forecasted continuous rain in Guwahati for the upcoming week. Sikkim has been particularly affected, with heavy rains causing landslides and floods, resulting in one death and multiple injuries.

Officials have urged residents to take precautions during the heatwave, emphasizing the importance of staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight, and being aware of heat-related illnesses. They recommend staying indoors during the hottest parts of the afternoon and watching for symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, especially in vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.
