BBC’s “Unprecedented” Heatwave in India
By Paul Homewood
Yet another heatwave fraud from the BBC:
In one of the largest hospitals in India’s capital, Delhi, a physician says he has never seen anything like this before.
“This is an unprecedented heatwave. In my 13 years of working here, I don’t remember signing a death certificate for heat stroke. This year, I’ve signed several,” says Ajay Chauhan of the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital (RMLH).
Delhi has been reeling under a prolonged heatwave, with daily temperatures crossing 40C (104F) since May, peaking at nearly 50C. Humidity and hot winds exacerbate the heat, compounded by water shortages and power outages due to soaring demand. And people are dying from the heat, with media reports suggesting at least 20 fatalities due to heat-related illnesses.

May and June are the two hottest months in Delhi, and daily temperatures peak at over 40C most years:
There is clearly no evidence of heatwaves getting more extreme there.
Safdarjun is regarded by the Indian Met Office as their Base Station in New Delhi. It is a high quality site, well away from the city centre and with a long record of data. Their data shows that the highest temperature there this year was 46.8C on 30th May. The record there is 47.2C, set in May 1944.
As for the length of the heatwave, which began at the start of May, we do know that May as a whole was not particularly hot at all. Again actual data shows no warming trend:

There is no evidence that the current heatwave is not a normal, natural event that often happens in New Delhi.
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
As a regular visitor to India over the past thirty years, I can attest to the gruellingly high temperatures at this time of year particularly in New Delhi. The imminent monsoon will soon dampen things down however. No doubt climate change will take the credit for that also.
When I lived and worked in Mumbai (Bombay in those days) in the mid 1960s I had to visit Delhi regularly (all about Indianisation, import licences and the DGTD). I well remember days about May/early June) when I had to close the windowaqs of my Ambassador taxi because the stifling and dry blast from open windows was just unbearable. Nothing new here.
People should go back and read Kipling’s The Man Who Would be King for his description of hot weather in India, which would be 19th century-ish. It certainly doesn’t sound like it was any less sweltering then than it is now.
“ In my 13 years of working here .”…. says it all ? – Purely a Generational thing
Exactly, living memory is what climate science is about, nothing more.
Just the same old biased reporting of something that is normal, as climate change heat problem.
You will see nothing about the southern hemisphere winter, Queensland lowest temperature for 32 years, Antarctica is pretty cold as well.
I remember when I used to listen to the BBC. I cannot imagine why I did.
Dr Ajay Chauhan is either unaware of the history and the climate of Delhi; or is just taking the pith. (Helmet).
Why does he think that anyone who could be spared (especially wives & children) went off to Simla for the Summer months?
It Ain‘t Half Hot Mum
Nails and heads and hitting them on it.
My father was with 5th Indian Division Signals in Burma (and on to Singapore and Surabaya), not as amusing although he still had some entertaining stories.
40 degrees when I was in New Delhi, throughout July 1999.
Plus around 100% humidity, quite unpleasant but normal for the sub continent.
So Dr Chauhan signed for many of them?
20 seems ridiculously low for temps near 50C.

Just come across this.
This was written:

I wonder, how many of those people had adverse conditions due to Covid Vaccinations?
I’m from India, this year the temperature is extremely high, no doubt, all created artificially by the powers that be, I predicted this would happen last year itself and it did and I can guarantee, next year would be worse, because vaxx’ed Indians need high temperature to change the evolutionary DNA like rest of the world. This is due to Vaxxine. The “climate change” is a psy-op word predictive programming to fool the sheeps.
Just like RACISM, LGBTQ+, This Climate Change WORD was created before the event so when people start asking questions in the FUTURE, PTB could just say ohh its Climate Change.
Make No mistake, 1000s of Indians are DYING due to vaxxing and millions would die by 2030’s, those who would make it would have their DNA changed, its called transhumanism, offcourse, mainstream is silent the world over with the number of people dying due to vaxx

Delhi is a madhouse. It’s population now is around 34 million but in 1950 it was only 1.5 million. It’s still growing at 2%/year. It is 24 hour, non-stop, ridiculous traffic, constant building. And the building trade in particular is still very labour-intensive.
