Hottest day in 72 years

Yesterday Nagpur experienced the hottest day in past 72 years. It was a sizzling 47.3C and is expected to continue for some more days. Thanks to NMC and MSEB there is uninterrupted water and electricity supply, but I never know when I will have to bite my tongue for saying it too soon. Since Nagpur has a very dry weather desert coolers are very effective.

Today I intend to keep an egg in a black box with water out and see if it cooks 🙂

On the somewhat colorfully brighter note – the heat has driven flocks of Blossom Headed Parakeets to our garden in search of food and water.

Otherwise life just is.

  • Of late you have been displaying loads of bird pictures. Neat.

    Remember sometime back I was complaining about the air-conditioned office and being far from Mother Nature. I take my words back, thanks to the hot climate.

    • I like bird watching – really 😉

      In summers garden is full of birds, I only wish I had a better camera.

      As for the heat with the desert coolers the temperature inside right now is 21 C nice and cool. Only that no one can step outside till 6 pm

      • We have lotsa them pretty birds around these parts and its not even hot! I cannot wait for the mercury to rise … ;/

  • And I’m freezing!!! I think we are looking at -1 tonight…. beautiful birds!

    • The parakeets also have nice call which kind of goes tooai tooai

  • weather update.

    Weather in this part of the world – been raining since morning, drizzled in the afternoon yesterday. Temperature is 14 degrees C, evolution says Nagpur temperature at the moment is 46. Thats about 32 degrees difference between New York and Nagpur and New Jersey and Newark! 🙂
