    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.

    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.

      Ah, yes. I see. My friend, when you serve the one true religion you feeeeel it deep down, as though god is talking through your feelings.

      You can’t just allow people from false religions to galavant around claiming they are part of the one true religion. And, see, since we’re all immortal (at least in the true religion) this world doesn’t matter really, except where religion counts.

      Gaaaaaaah. The whole world filled with people with perfectly good noses, and yet they breathe through their mouths.

      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?

    They’re now saying that temperature was a sensor anomaly.

      Do you have a link to source of that? I’m pretty sure there are many sensors measuring the temperatures in a city that size.

        Not familiar with these sites but here are some articles.
        Did Delhi Temperature Reach 52.9 Degrees? The Truth Behind City’s All-Time High Record - timesnownews.com
        Was it really 52.9 degrees in Delhi? IMD says ‘not sure’ amid surging heat - business-standard.com

        “The maximum temperature over Delhi NCR varied from 45.2 to 49.1 degrees Celsius across different parts of the city. Mungeshpur’s 52.9 degrees Celsius is an outlier compared to other stations, potentially due to sensor error or local factors. IMD is examining the data and sensors,” IMD stated later in the evening.

        Still… I can’t even imagine that kind of heat.

        Even the title is (now):

          I’m from a third world country in the global South, of course I don’t support any destruction. How is saying nuking a region a support to stop destruction?

          Also: I wasn’t accusing them of being a bot, but I can’t imagine anyone not being paid or manipulated to support nuking Europe as if it’s a good idea.
