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

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

Yet another heatwave fraud from the BBC:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the largest hospitals in India\u2019s capital, Delhi, a physician says he has never seen anything like this before.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an unprecedented heatwave. In my 13 years of working here, I don\u2019t remember signing a death certificate for heat stroke. This year, I\u2019ve signed several,\u201d says Ajay Chauhan of the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital (RMLH).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cn00nkzdvkjo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May and June are the two hottest months in Delhi, and daily temperatures peak at over 40C most years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is clearly no evidence of heatwaves getting more extreme there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no evidence that the current heatwave is not a normal, natural event that often happens in New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
