AHMEDABAD - In India, a cooling bus stop has been set up at the Lal Darwaza bus terminal in Gujarat's Ahmedabad to provide relief from the scorching summer heat. The bus stop features a high-pressure mist cooling system, which releases tiny water droplets that absorb heat, lowering temperatures by six to seven degrees. 

With over 3,000 commuters passing through daily, the cooling system is seen as a much-needed upgrade to the busy bus stop. Many commuters have thanked the authorities for the initiative, which offers relief from the summer heat, with calls for similar facilities at bus stops across the city. Similarly, hundreds of roofs in the informal settlements of Gujarat have been painted in a reflective, white coating over the last two months to try to keep their occupants cooler as the hottest time of year approaches. The temperature reached 37 degrees Celsius on the day of filming.
