Scorching sun in the monsoon

Though the monsoon is ongoing, there has been no rain in Sylhet for the last few days. Instead, people have been suffering from scorching sun and sweltering heat. People are forced to go outside on daily work. Some are using umbrellas while some are using hats made of bamboo and cane while going out in the sun. People with lower incomes have been struggling hard everyday in this heat and sun.
