Years of scientific research have found the climate crisis is causing heatwaves to become longer, more frequent and more intense.

That’s 122.9°F for those who can’t feel in Celsius. It also rained a little in the morning and the humidity was about 45%.
I did a little check and the hottest day this week in Death Valley is supposed to be 113° tomorrow with about 9% humidity.
Just for comparison.
HOWEVER, news sources from India are now reporting that number to be an anomaly compared to still-excessive-but-not-a-record numbers from neighboring sensor stations. It could be from hot winds but possible it’s a malfunction. Investigation ongoing.
I don’t even want to imagine 50 C. In sauna, it’s dry and you manage 30 minutes by sweating. But living in a sauna sounds bloody awful.
Also, almost anyone with a med / bio background will say - emergency rooms will be full at 50 C, and morgues will be crowded a few days after the event. :(
From the article:
At the SMS hospital in Rajasthan’s capital, Jaipur, so many bodies of casualties of the heat have arrived at the mortuary that its capacity has been exceeded.
Wasn’t that how “ministry for the future” started?
yup, and climate scientists have known for years India would be one of the early and hardest hit nations/regions due to climate change
