The article I posted does appear to be wrong. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/Rajasthans-Phalodi-sizzles-at-51C-highest-ever-temperature-in-country/articleshow/52349772.cms https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/Rajasthans-P... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-36339523 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-36339523 That said, it does not mean that it is normal either. There appears to be a cluster of temps over 50 recently, but before that you seemingly have to go back to 1956 to get over 50 degrees. I could be wrong again however. If someone has better data, I'd like it if they could link to it.
