Pop quiz Chuck
A Single temperature station on a single day, is that climate or weather?
If you aren't certain about the answer, you could check some of your recent lecture notes, you have covered this topic repeatedly in your daily lectures.Last edited by AlbertaFarmer5; May 30, 2024, 07:41.

So how many record setting high temperatures do we need to see around the world broken by a lot, until the flat earthers admit climate change is real?
Did they set a record low in Chile? Nope only the coldest May in 74 years.

Indian capital swelters as temperature hits all-time high of 52.9 Celsius

NEW DELHI, May 29 (Reuters) - Delhi recorded an all-time high temperature of 52.9 degrees Celsius (127.22 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday as extreme heat conditions gripped the north and western parts of India, causing students to faint in schools and drinking water taps to dry up.
A heat wave alert ([url]https://www.reuters.com/world/india/indias-northwest-braces-more-heatwaves-amid-elections-2024-05-21/[/url]) has been in place for large parts of India since last week but on Wednesday the temperature in Mungeshpur, a densely packed corner of Delhi, crossed the 50 C mark, the weather office said.
The Indian capital has had temperatures of over 45 C in previous years but never gone as high as 52.9 C.
Streets in Mungeshpur in northwest Delhi were deserted and most shops were shut as people stayed indoors to avoid the searing heat, while residents handed out free cold drinks in Narela after temperatures went up to 49.9 C on Tuesday.
"When we go outside it seems like someone is slapping our faces. It has become difficult to live in Delhi," said resident Akash Nirmal.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) said it is examining the data and sensors to look into Mungeshpur's temperature which was an outlier compared to other stations.
"There is so much heat in Delhi that students are fainting, some are falling sick, some are facing dehydration. The students are facing a lot of trouble in this heat. The fans don't work in our institutions," said Nidhi, a student, who gave only their first name.
