Phalodi, a town of 50,000 people in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, made history on Thursday by registering a torrid 51 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature ever recorded in the country . The previous record was 50.6 degrees, recorded in Alwar in 1956.
Temperatures eased a bit in and around NCR under the influence of cyclone Roanu. However, it was hot enough for Delhi to record its highest power demand of 6,044 MW , reached at 3.36 pm.
