Nagpur:29.05.2019
Boiling at 47.8° C, Chandrapur was the hottest place in the world on Tuesday as per El Dorado which monitors temperatures across the globe. Nagpur recorded 47.5° C, putting it at No. 3. Jacobabad in Pakistan was the second hottest at 47.5 degrees.
According to officials of the Regional Meteorological Department (RMC), Nagpur’s highest May temperature of the last few years was recorded on May 23, 2013, when the maximum temperature was 47.9° C.
Two other cities from Vidarbha — Bramhapuri and Wardha — also figure in the top 15 hottest cities in the world. While Brahmapuri was at no. 5 with 46.9 degrees Celsius, Wardha was at no. 9 with 46.5.
Other Indian cities in the top 15 are Ramagundam (No.4) and Adilabad (No. 11), both in Telangana, and Banda (no.12) in Uttar Pradesh. A reader in Nagpur sent a picture of a dead bird saying it must have collapsed due to the intense heat “as no external injuries were visible”.
At another spot in the city, the top layer of an asphalted road appeared to be melting.
Temperatures have been continuously rising since the start of ‘nau tapa’ period started four days ago. The nine days of intense heat occurs as the Earth is closest to the Sun during the summer months.
