harorat

Harorat is the Urdu word for temperature or heat. In Hindi, the cognate hararat is used with the same meaning. The term has roots in Persian and Arabic, connected with warmth and heat, and appears in science, meteorology, and everyday speech to describe how hot or cold something is.

Temperature is measured with devices known as thermometers. In most contexts, harorat is reported using scales such as Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), while Kelvin is used in scientific work. A typical reference point is human body temperature, roughly 36.5 to 37.5 °C. Environmental temperatures vary with geography and season and are influenced by humidity, wind, and altitude, which also affect human thermal perception.

Harorat is a key concept in meteorology, agriculture, cooking, medicine, and engineering. In daily language, people speak of high or low harorat to describe weather or physical warmth. In medicine, elevated body harorat indicates fever, while very low harorat requires attention. The term also appears in literature and culture to convey mood, climate, or atmosphere.
