Meanwhile, here in India, for the first time in the living memory of every single person I know, including my 78 year old dad, we had 25C daytime temperature in Delhi...in May.
The weather has been bizarre as hell. It was so unusually hot in February that the prime minister had to call an urgent meeting to discuss potential damage to crops from the excessive heat.
Then it suddenly cooled down again and has been unseasonably pleasant.
- aidenn0 3y agoWait, 25C is "unseasonably pleasant" for May? I've been spoiled by a mild clime for too long...
- spaceman_2020 3y agoRoutine daytime temperatures in May easily hit 45C. In fact, the heat is coming back now and it's projected to hit 43C next week :)

- faangguyindia 3y agoYes, the part of North India where I live it's raining and the summer is cool. I wonder where the heatwaves got shipped or is europe also experiencing this cool summer phenomenon? Why climate is becoming milder in North India?
- spaceman_2020 3y agoMild this year. Last year was absolutely brutal. The heat wave started all the way back in March and didn’t abate until August. Just wildly unpredictable.
