April 1st Reached Record Hot Temperatures At 31.8°C

Apr 2 2024

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.

Cinema Seats Have 14 Times More Bacteria Than Toilet Seat

Apr 2 2024

A recent study conducted by Betway Casino has shed light on the alarming levels of bacteria present in cinema seats and cup holders, highlighting a significant contrast with toilet seats.

The study revealed that on average, cinema seats harbour a staggering 1,864 bacteria colonies, which is 14 times more than what is typically found on a standard toilet seat.

Furthermore, certain cinema seats were found to contain as many as 3,000 bacteria colonies, indicating a concerning level of microbial activity. Cup holders fared even worse, with an average of 2,396 colonies, marking an 18-fold increase compared to toilet seats.

Among the types of bacteria identified were Staphylococcus spp, Micrococcus spp, Bacillus spp, and Pseudomonas spp, some of which are associated with skin shedding and others known to cause infections in humans.

These findings underscore the importance of practicing basic hygiene measures, such as hand sanitization and washing, to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful bacteria in public spaces like cinemas.
