Note on Max & Min Temperature - IS -802-1977 (Part-II) Cl 4.1

'"The temperature varies for different localities under different diurnal & seasonal conditions.The absolute
maximum & minimum temepratures,which may be expected in different localities in the country, are indicated
in maps of India in Fig.2 and Fig.3 respectively. These may be used for assessing temperature stresses in
conductors and ground wires. The absolute maximum temperature value given in Fig.2 shall be incresed by
17o Cto allow for sun's radiation, heating effect of current,etc, in the conductor"
