April 1st Reached Record Hot Temperatures At 31.8°C
Environment
Taking to social media, Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ showed how the 1st of April 2024 was the hottest day for that specific month on record – reaching a whopping 31.8°C at around 14:25hrs.
The page ensured everyone that this was not an April Fool’s joke as many thought this was the case.
But the temperatures did indeed climb to 12°C higher that the seasonal average.
Before yesterday, the highest April temperature was recorded back in April 9th of 1985 at 30.7°C. Temperatures are expected to drop by 10°C from today, April 2nd.
The scorching temperatures were attributed to a lack of wind (which usually cools the air due to colder seas) and a very low humidity.
