NOT all heat is the same, as regional journalist Sahil Makkar has discovered since he made the move from New Delhi to NSW five months ago. Here, he compares summers in his home city with the hot months in the Central West.

I’VE survived a 50-degree day in New Delhi, but I’m still happy to admit that my first Australian summer is proving a real eye-opener.
