I initially agreed with Bradmeister's edit, but looking at the citation even closer I think you're right. It is easy to get confused as to whether they're referring to the casualties or the temperatures considering how the sentences are worded, but I think it's nothing but an honest mistake here.

The article could be improved by adding a section on the cause of the heat wave. Most heat waves are connected to persistent high pressure zones or ridges over land. Surely, there must be meteorological reports that could fill in the
854:"Hundreds of mainly poor people die at the height of summer every year in India, but this year's figures are already the highest since 1995, when official data shows 1,677 people succumbed to the heat." 632: 489: 458: 997: 1062: 637: 923:
I have removed the message " This article is outdated " If this tag is to remain, we might as well add a similar tag to the hundreds of Knowledge (XXG) articles out there.

says (of the heat wave) "The trend is uncommon in India." It looks like these statements contradict each other, but I'm not sure how to change/what to remove. –

I've attempted to clarify it a bit. I'm fairly certain that the "uncommon trend" was the sudden end of the pre-monsoon season showers.

The article doesn't really need the outdated tag, but why are you removing {{Use dmy dates|date=June 2015}}?
805: 800:
I just wanted to ask - should this article's lead be written in the past tense if this is an ongoing event?
680: 962: 926: 700: 672: 316: 831:
Whether it's still ongoing is perhaps debatable. Some news articles describe it as having ended already.

There is one reference in this article's lead section that appears to be misinterpreted. It claims that

Better to describe it in the past tense so we don't have to switch everything around when it does end.
