Hottest day so far, yesterday, today may be the same

Temperature was at around 41’C  yesterday at Mylapore and it was the hottest day so far, this year. The sea breeze which usually sets in around 11:30 a.m. set in at about 12:45 p.m. and this could have caused temperatures to shoot up, says a release by the meteorological department. This could be the case for this entire week. The heat, along with the strike in public services, made it a tough day for many commuters.
