On 13-Feb-09, it was the HOTTEST day so far this Year... 35.8 deg.
Nowadays the HUMIDITY has also gone up slightly.
And the MIN temperature has also gone up by 2 deg... it's around 23 deg in the early mornings.

Winter at it's end... And all signs of "GOOD" summer ahead.
We might have a Electric shower around 1st or 2nd week of March and then we will move into the HARSH summer months.

Latest Sea surface temperature map shows... there's a rise in temperature over the arabian sea along the western coast of India. This will continue to increase in coming months till South-west monsoon.

Equator belt south of India is witnessing lots of cloud formations. These are good signs for Early South-west Monsoon.

Global temperature anomaly for year 2008

Global surface temperature anomaly for December-08

Is the global climate changing?

Yes. But let’s look more closely at what that means. We can start with the time from 1856 to the present. We have a good record of global temperature for this recent period. Accurate temperature measurements were made at many locations around the world.

There have been some sharp year-to-year fluctuations. During some periods, such as the 1940s, there was a drop in global temperature, but the overall trend is up when we look at the past century and a half.
