Mumbai hits its hottest temperature of all-time

[one...two...tree 2,762]

The temperature in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India skyrocketed to an all-time high of 107°F (41.6°C) yesterday, March 16, at the downtown Colaba observatory. Records at the observatory go back to 1847, which may be the longest time series of temperature observations at any location in Asia. Mumbai's previous all-time record temperature was 105°F (40.6°C) recorded on April 19, 1955. Mumbai's Santacruz Airport, located in the suburbs several miles inland, did not set an all-time high yesterday, hitting 41.3°C (all-time record: 42.2°C on April 14, 1952.) The record heat yesterday was due to an unusually hot and dry northeasterly flow of air from the center of India that kept the usual cooling sea breeze from establishing itself along the coast. Hot weather continued in Mumbai today, with the mercury hitting 102°F (39°C.)

42? Mumbaiyas are so spoiled. It goes near 50 in New Delhi routinely.

WTH does this have to do with politics and/or religion?

obviously they need a carbon tax to make up for this transgression!

Steven is sneaky. Rumor has it he occasionally deletes his posts without anyone knowing. Did he move this from P/R to O/T without leaving a trace?

I'm really glad I am not there for that. I was in Colaba a couple weeks ago to see the gateway. I think it was only high 80s that day.

So much for global warming.

*not saying you are guilty of this but for those that are...*

It must be convenient to present this hot temperature and use as support for global warming.

But when the record freezing temperatures come in each year they are brushed off with the 'climate vs. temperature argument'

A few years ago I was In Vegas when the air conditioning in my car failed. It was 121 in the shadow, but there was no shadow to be seen anywhere. At 107 I still wear a fur coat.
