Residents said their houses were so hot before the roofs were painted that they would spend most of their time outdoors under any shade they could find.“Earlier, it was really difficult to sleep inside the house,” said Akashbhai Thakor, who works as a delivery van driver and lives with his wife and three-month-old child in Ahmedabad. Thakor’s roof was painted as part of a research project that is trying to measure the impact of the so-called cool roofs.

Early results have been promising. “After the roof was painted, the house is much cooler, especially at night,” said Thakor.Akashbhai Thakor, right, and his wife Kumud stand at their house in Ahmedabad, India, Thursday, April 3, 2025. (AP Photo/Ajit Solanki)

People like Thakor are much more vulnerable to extreme heat because their houses aren’t insulated and, since most of them depend on a daily wage, they must work regardless of the weather, said Priya Bhavsar of the Indian Institute of Public Health Gandhinagar, who is working on the project. Bhavsar said low-cost solutions could be the only respite for thousands of people in the city who can’t afford to buy an air conditioner.German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, right, welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, left, for a meeting in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
