Reign of fire: On Delhi and the high heat
June 1, 2024 08:15 am
On May 29, the Mungeshpur automatic weather station north of New Delhi recorded a maximum of 52.9°C. While the India Meteorological Department has since suggested that the station’s thermistor may be faulty, the country’s north has clearly been suffering scorching weather. After the recording was reported, New Delhi’s Water Minister imposed a fine of ₹2,000 on those washing vehicles with hoses and allowing water tanks to overflow, and said 200 teams would monitor for wastage.
