CBS:Delhi temperature may break record for highest ever in India: 126.1 degrees. A temperature reading collected in Delhi, India's capital territory, may have broken national records as the country grapples with a blistering heat wave. The reading — 52.9 degrees Celsius or 126.1 degrees Fahrenheit — was preliminary and technically an outlier compared with others taken in Delhi on the same day, officials said. But, if confirmed, it would be the highest temperature ever registered anywhere in India. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/delhi-temperature-may-break-record-highest-ever-india-126-degrees/#delhi#india#climateemergency#heatwave
Explained: Delhi has become heat chambers due to land and surface concretisation, leading to a heat multiplier effect. The urban heat island effect traps heat in the lower atmosphere.
These bits of news underline why it is imperative to integrate trees and other ecological elements into and around urban areas. They have the capacity to moderate temperature and to absorb deluges. Concrete jungles are no longer fit for purpose. They must change.
