CLAIM
A video showing motorists on the road being sprayed by a water hose is viral on social media with the claim that it is from Rajasthan, where the heat has supposedly reached 52 degrees.
The video has been shared along with the following message: "52 degrees centigrade in Rajasthan, please see how riders take the on-road shower from social service volunteers. ⬇"
The video has been widely shared on Facebook with a similar narrative.
TRUE OR FALSE?
The video, while not edited in any manner, is not from Rajasthan as claimed, but from Pakistan. This is evident from the Dawn News logo that is visible at the bottom right corner of the video.
WHAT WE FOUND OUT
On breaking down the video into key frames using the InVid software and running a reverse image search on one of the key frames, it was found that the video was uploaded on 30 May 2018 on the Pakistani news channel's Youtube channel.
HEATWAVE IN RAJASTHAN

According to reports, Sawai Madhopur recorded the highest temperature at 43.7 degrees, with Jaipur following close behind at 41.4 degrees.
