Gearing up for another torrid summer of discontent is a routine grudgingly treaded by Mumbaikars every year, but to have the temperatures shoot through the roof much earlier than normal is a tragic double whammy.
On Wednesday, the maximum daytime temperature recorded at Colaba was 34.5C while Santa Cruz scorched with a maximum of 40.6C. Officials at the weather bureau admit that the temperature over the past few days is a good four degrees above normal. "But this is not unusual for summer. March too saw days when the daytime temperature rose up to 40C in the city," said Dr RV Sharma, deputy director general, Regional Meteorological Centre, Colaba.
If April is so hot, how terrible will May be?
