claim: Extreme high temperatures were seen from India — where the city of Phalodi recorded temperatures of 51 degrees Celsius ( 123.8 Fahrenheit ) in May, a new national record — to Iran, where a temperature of 53 degrees Celsius ( 127.4 F ) was recorded in Delhoran on July 22.
evidence: On 2 June 2019, the city of Churu recorded a temperature of 50.8 °C ( 123.4 °F ), only one-fifth of a degree Celsius short of the country's highest-ever temperature, 51 °C ( 124 °F ) during the 2016 heat wave.
