Chandigarh, March 30

The city today witnessed the hottest day of March in four years.

The maximum temperature today rose to 36.5°C, which is five degrees above normal. Last year, the highest temperature was 29.4°C on March 24. While in 2019, it was 34°C on March 31. In 2018, it was 34.5°C on March 29.

However, 2017 had witnessed a higher temperature of 37°C on March 30.

Meanwhile, the minimum temperature was 19.2°C, which is four degrees above normal.

In the coming days, the weather is expected to be clear. The maximum and minimum temperature is likely to come down by a small margin, as per the Meteorological Department.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
