Top 10 Hottest Places in India With 50°C In Summer: India experiences extreme heat during the summer months, with several regions recording temperatures between 48°C and 50°C. These soaring temperatures are primarily due to geographic factors such as proximity to the Thar Desert, semi-arid conditions, and minimal vegetation, which contribute to rapid heating of the land surface.

Andhra Pradesh's Rentachintala is well known for its sweltering summers, which frequently reach 48°C. Due to its low elevation, arid climate, and inland location away from coastal moderating influences, the area experiences extremely high summer temperatures.
2. Phalodi, Rajasthan

The record for India's highest temperature, 51°C, was set on May 19, 2016, at Phalodi in the Thar Desert. Its desert climate, which is marked by little vegetation and dry conditions, causes a lot of heat to be absorbed during the day, which raises the temperature to extremely high levels.
3. Churu, Rajasthan
