From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may recall the heatwave in India last May, which the BBC naturally blamed on climate change:<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-asia-india-61242341<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When all the data for the month was in, it turned that it was only the 43rd hottest on record in Delhi! Indeed, as the chart below shows, it used to be consistently much hotter in May in the 1940s. May, of course, is usually the hottest month of the year in India, as temperatures dip when the monsoon arrives in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there has been much less discussion by the BBC about the extremely cold weather there in May this year. Indeed it is the third coldest on record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures near to 30C may seem high to us, but when early morning temperatures dip to 15C, which they did on the fourth, that is a problem for people without heating or proper cold weather clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you won\u2019t see that on the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
