That's the temperature at the weather station in shade.

The air temperature is higher in the sun in busy marketplaces from high surface temperature of tarred roads and the thermal island effect of poor Indian urban design. Also on the top floors of buildings it tends to be really bad (roofs are mostly uninsulated).

Today, in May. I'm pretty sure its going to get much worse. How so do you think we'll find out why zuckerberg thinks he can hide away on an island when the civilization he's decided to manipulate can't sustain.
The weather in North India has been very weird this year. Normally it's pleasant in March and starts warming up in April all the way to end June. This year it got June-hot in April but then cooled down again in early May. From running ACs in April to even turning ceiling fans off for a few days in May is unheard of.
The weather is weird everywhere. Portugal now gets weird semi-tropical storms. Belgium had nonsensical heat earlier this year and then hail rains, now we’re up for another heat wave in May. We’ve been warned about climate change, but I’m glad we waited so long to act, it’s definitely been worth it -.-
