The wounded with the parching thirst of haemorrhage upon them called piteously for water. |

The closeness of the sea is noticeable, the parching heat of the sun has diminished somewhat. |

This parching of soil can also lead to secondary effects, such as the development of unstable winds, tornadoes and other powerful storms. |
|
Occasionally during parching, some seeds would fall into the fire and become charred. |
|
In other regions, such as Crete, the hot, dry summers are accentuated by the parching meltemi, or etesian winds, which become drier as they are drawn southward. |
|
This prevents the occurrence of negative pressure inside the pipeline, suction of impurities into the drippers, thus preventing parching of hoses. |
|
Parching destroys the germ so the seed will not sprout, hardens the kernel, and loosens the tight hull so it can be removed. |
