Isn't that pretty close to an unsafe wet bulb temperature at any humidity?
It's not even peak summer yet.

Isn't that pretty close to an unsafe wet bulb temperature at any humidity?
It's not even peak summer yet.
I also thought about wet bulb and checked the humidity in Delhi, which seems to be just 7 % or so. According to wet bulb calculators that's still good, like around 23 °C wet bulb.
Interestingly the wet bulb temperature calculators that I tried only work until 50 °C, so that was what I put in.
At 50 °C you need about 35 % humidity to get to 35 °C wet bulb.
Regarding your second point: If I'm not mistaken, the hottest month in the region is around May. The temperature is influenced by monsoons, and although the sun peaks higher in summer, it is generally also more cloudy and rain cools of the surface. That's why usually temperatures peak just before rain season.
Sounds like a temperature where you're starting to slowly be steamed/cooked alive, fucking hell.
It's the core temperature for a medium rare steak.
And this will be the coldest summer for the rest of our lives. 😓
When Ministry for the Future starts to happen sooner than expected... poor people
Instead of building only roads and cutting down trees. Lets start planting trees as a thing. And ask for climate reforms in the country with the politicians instead of religion wars.
And ask for climate reforms in the country with the politicians
this is the hard part. you will want to take them and the moneyed interests that back them off the map if you want any meaningful change. they've shown begging wont work.
officials investigating if temperature of 52.9C due to faulty sensor
A faulty sensor...A faulty senso responsibility, amirite?
Adding to that
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said it was examining the data and sensors at the Mungeshpur station after an unusually large variation in temperatures was recorded at the station compared to others.
So the title seems really misleading. Did The Guardian change it, was it earlier the same as the post title?
