VADODARA, March 29: The season of the scorching sun and sweltering sky is back.

With the mercury levels soaring by the day and nights becoming warmer, crowds jostle at the city8217;s ice cream parlours or seek a cool respite in a chilled glass of sugarcane juice to beat the summer heat.

The city recorded a maximum temperature of 42.5 degrees celsius on Monday and the weatherman8217;s forecast announces that the heat wave is likely to prevail for at least two days. Little wonder that summer accessories like caps, goggles, cotton scarves and handgloves are back on the stands promising their protective cover against the blazing sun.
