Ayupp Analysis – The above news speaks about Equinox (Astronomical event) where the sun is directly above the earth’s equator. Due to this phenomena body might get dehydrated very fast. So it is advised to drink as much water as you can.

Frankly speaking during the month of May – weather is too hot and it is highly advised to drink water and keep yourself dehydrated. Its good for your health. But the question here is – What is all noise about Equinox. Readers can read about equinox on Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox

This phenomena happens twice a year. Approximately on 20th march and 23rd September. So it has no relation with heat as we do not have heat wave during September month. This kind of news also spread in last year as well. It was published in the hindu newspaper. http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Vijayawada/%E2%80%98Equinox-phenomenon%E2%80%99-sets-social-media-afire/article14169460.ece
