New Delhi experienced a sizzling week with temperatures reaching a staggering 52.9°C. However, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has now clarified that this reading was inflated by 3°C due to a sensor malfunction in the Mungeshpur weather station. 🌡️❌
Earth Sciences Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the IMD's investigation revealed a \"3-degrees-Celsius sensor error.\" As a result, corrective measures have been implemented to ensure accurate future readings. 🔧✅
While the initial report caused alarm among residents and officials alike, the IMD emphasized that the previous maximum temperature reading at Mungeshpur was \"not correct due to malfunctioning of the sensor.\" 📉
