    Do you have a link to source of that? I’m pretty sure there are many sensors measuring the temperatures in a city that size.

      Not familiar with these sites but here are some articles.
      Did Delhi Temperature Reach 52.9 Degrees? The Truth Behind City’s All-Time High Record - timesnownews.com
      Was it really 52.9 degrees in Delhi? IMD says ‘not sure’ amid surging heat - business-standard.com

      “The maximum temperature over Delhi NCR varied from 45.2 to 49.1 degrees Celsius across different parts of the city. Mungeshpur’s 52.9 degrees Celsius is an outlier compared to other stations, potentially due to sensor error or local factors. IMD is examining the data and sensors,” IMD stated later in the evening.

      Still… I can’t even imagine that kind of heat.

      I don’t know if the article was changed but this is from the article

      The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said it was examining the data and sensors at the Mungeshpur station after an unusually large variation in temperatures was recorded at the station compared to others.

      Even the title is (now):
