Around the world | Historic and unprecedented temperatures recorded in the fifties in the Indian capital and their relationship to climate change

Arabia Weather - India is being affected these days by an intense and scorching heat wave, which has raised temperatures to record and historical levels, not previously recorded, as they are more concentrated in the northern and western parts of the country, including the Indian capital, New Delhi.

Unprecedented temperatures were recorded in the Indian capital

As a result of this scorching wave, temperatures were recorded that were the highest in the world and at the state level, as a historic temperature was recorded yesterday, Wednesday 5/29/2024, and reached 52.9 degrees Celsius, specifically in the Munjishpur neighborhood, where this led to the death of a citizen.

Does climate change play a role in setting these records?

In fact, according to experts at the Arab Weather Center, climate change has been increasing in recent years, causing an increase in the number and intensity of heat waves, and recording historic and unprecedented temperatures, due to global warming and the increase in the amount of harmful emissions.
