The day temperature shot up to 32degC on Wednesday, making it the second-highest November temperature recorded in the past 14 years, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD) data. The temperature was 3degC above normal and the highest recorded in the city this season since October 21, when the mercury touched 32.7degC.
