New all-time record high temperature in India!
This year has been an unusually hot one from India and Pakistan into Thailand. As Cyclone Roanu departed India, they set a new all-time record high temperature:
Our article states: "Intense heat worsened across western India as the circulation around Roanu pulled in dry and warmer air. On Thursday (May 19), Phalodi in Rajasthan set the all-time record high for India when temperatures soared to 51 C (123.8 F)."
Temperatures in the 50s Celsius are indeed rare! Jacobabad, Pakistan, also hit 125 F on Thursday, but weather records there are questionable so it's hard to say if a record was broken, but it's believed that the temperature there has exceeded 128.
