[edit] Extreme temperatures
Hi Max, thanks for contacting me. As you have guessed, I am very interested in temperatures and records. I checked out your website (http://www.mherrera.org/temp.htm) and I have a few updates to make for Mumbai:
- Mumbai Airport should be renamed to "Mumbai (Santacruz)" or "Mumbai (Santacruz airport)" Santacruz is the key word here.
- Mumbai Downtown should be renamed as "Mumbai (Colaba)"
As these are official names of the two weather stations in the city.
- Extreme low recorded for Mumbai (Santacruz) -- 7.4 °C was on 22 January 1962
- Extreme low recorded for Mumbai (Colaba) -- 11.7 °C was on 1 February 1929
A low of 6.5 °C was recorded near Kanheri Caves on 8 February 2008. As Kanheri lies within Mumbai city limits, it is the lowest recorded temperature available for the city.
Please could you update your records? Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, I think Mumbai (Santacruz airport) should solve the problem. PS Santacruz is the domestic airport. As for the authenticity of the temperature record, I can deduce the following:
- Source
- And the fact that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has setup 30 weather stations around the city to monitor the weather 6.5C Source.
- From the above Mumbai Mirror article, the weather station at Tulsi Lake pumping station would be the closest to Kanheri Caves.
- I would assume that the weather stations set up by the BMC would adhere to meteorological guidelines.
