The heat wave in Europe has intensified. People are suffering from the heat, and many videos are emerging from Europe. Recently, a video went viral on social media showing people buying air conditioners and coolers in large numbers, causing panic in stores. Similarly, a video of a female athlete recently went viral, showing her tennis racket melting in her hand due to the intense heat. This scene shocked not only the woman but also users, while some began arguing that such heat is nothing for Indians.
According to the claim made in the video, the temperature in Europe is 36 degrees. In this heat, when the female player held the racket in her hand to play tennis, the plastic on it started melting within a few moments. The woman's hand is seen turning black in the video. It is being claimed in the video that her black hands are due to the melting of the racket. Since this is the first time that a tennis racket has melted in the hand due to heat, users were stunned to see this scene. According to experts, plastic or other sensitive things can get damaged due to exposure to strong sunlight and high temperatures for a long time.

Meanwhile, as the video went viral, users are reacting to the incident. Some expressed shock at the scene, while others lamented the poor quality of the racket. Social media is also abuzz with the fact that people in Europe are struggling with this condition in 36 degrees Celsius, but Indians can live comfortably even in 40 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the video of the incident has been shared on an Instagram account called @newstoliofficial. Many users have commented on the video and given their reactions to the incident. One user said, “Here in my city, the ice cream melts before I can even buy it,” another user wrote, “Hey, in India the temperature reaches 45 to 50 degrees Celsius in summer, your products are not good,” another user wrote, “People in India are working in 44 degrees Celsius and you are playing tennis and making videos.”
