Record 51C Heat Hits India

[Meatpie]

[SUB]Youths cool off in Kolkata, May 2016.

[/SUB]A city in India's Rajasthan state has broken the country's temperature records after registering 51C, the highest since records began.

The new record in Phalodi in the desert state comes amid a heatwave across India.

The previous record for the hottest temperature stood at 50.6C in 1956.

The heatwave has hit much of northern India, where temperatures have exceeded 40C for weeks.
