Body heat in Hyderabad

According to Weather.com, the temperature here in Hyderabad has reached 37 degrees Celsius.  Some of you may recall from science class that 37 C is human body temperature and converts exactly to 98.6 Fahrenheit.  So we've reached body heat outside.

So remember, 37 C and above is very hot.

In contrast, my hotel room is currently set to 21 C or 69.8 F.  Let's call it 70 F.

So 21 Celsius = good temp indoors.  37 Celsius and above = really hot, and hotter than Rochester, NY ever gets.

I will venture out briefly today.  My Indian colleagues told me I should wait until after 4:00 PM to explore because the temperature will be declining as the sun moves toward setting.  By the way, sunset is 6:34 PM tonight.  With sunrise at 5:55 this morning, there will be less than 13 hours of daylight.  Being so close to the Equator, there isn't much variation is daylight hours here in the tropics.  So days will be shorter than long summer days in Rochester.
