Today in India the temperature was a record 123.8 Degrees Fahrenheit. You could cook steak on the sidewalk with weather like that! Ridiculous, this is India’s hottest day of all time. The temperature was taken in the town of Phalodi. The previous record in India was 123.1.
The region is home to the Thar desert. This is a land that is used to extreme temperatures. In fact, before breaking the record Thursday, the region saw temperatures exceeding 119 degrees twice that week. The record for the region was previously 123.1 degrees Fahrenheit in the town of Alwar. I just hope everyone is baby sitting that AC, staying hydrated and being safe. The world record for high temperature was recorded in California in 1913 when a 134 degree Fahrenheit temperature was recorded.
