Rajasthan is a desert. The city mentioned in the article, Churu, currently has a humidity of 11%. I mentioned Tempe because it's nearly an identical climate. I've spent time in Ajmer, India, which is pretty close to Churu. It was only about 45C/113F when I was there.
Obviously this is all anecdotal, but my anecdote here isn't off base.
- z3phyr 7y agoIts absolutely not localized to Rajasthan. Almost the whole of north india is under a heat wave. And we recorded 37% humidity today in Delhi (The capital) with 47 C temprature and hot winds.
- caymanjim 7y agoI went back to the article and realized I lazily skimmed after the beginning. Delhi and other areas are much more oppressively humid. Mumbai is stifling even when it's "only" 35C. Most of Rajastan is pretty comfortable even well into the 40s though.
