HYDERABAD, India (May 22, 2002 12:07
                p.m. EDT) - More than 1,030 people have
                died in a heat wave in the southern state
                of Andhra Pradesh, the highest one-week
                toll on record for any Indian heat wave,
                authorities said Wednesday. Most of the
                victims were elderly and poor.

                Northern desert winds have led to an
                abnormally hot May in southern India, with
                temperatures more than 7 percent above
                the monthly average. The northern parts of
                the country have also been baking.

                All the deaths occurred May 9-15, when
                temperatures soared to 120 degrees along
                the Bay of Bengal, said D.C. Roshaiah,
                Andhra Pradesh's relief commissioner.

In the port city of Kakinada, 355 miles east of Hyderabad, the state
capital,
                Wednesday's highest temperature of 110.5 degrees was
recorded.
