Chandigarh, April 29

The city today witnessed its warmest day in four years.

According to the Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature today rose to 41.2°C, five degrees above normal. Last year, the highest maximum temperature of the month was 37.9°C on April 16. In 2019, it was 38.9°C on April 29 and in 2018, 40.4°C on April 27.

In 2017, the month’s highest temperature was recorded at 41.6°C on April 21.

In the past few days, the city has seen hot weather with the maximum temperature hovering around 40°C.

The next two days are likely to be partly cloudy. For May 2, there is a forecast of light rain.

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).
