So it gets hot in India.


The sun passes over Chennai much sooner than it does over New York City in it's procession to the solstice. As a matter of fact they call this period Agni Nakshatra or "Star Fire". There was one night last week that it did, indeed feel like the stars were shooting heat out of the sky.
They say it ends next month. But thay also say it only lasts 14 days, or 24 days, or 30 days - depending on whom you ask.

I wonder why it doesn't happen after the soltice as well. Maybe there's something they're not telling me?
