Every month, Indian Twitter seems to find something to laugh at - and with Pakistani news churning out a stream of gaffes at a regular pace, thereâs always something new to poke fun at.

This weekâs blunder came in from the countryâs national radio broadcaster Radio Pakistan, which released a weather report that made Twitter users chuckle before even finishing the first sentence.

Twitter users quickly spotted a rather alarming discrepancy in the report.

Showing a complete lack of knowledge of basic physics principles, the report referred to -4 degree centigrade as the maximum temperature  and -1 degree centigrade as the minimum temperature, an error that Indians jumped up to correct, right on cue.

The report came as a response to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which has begun referring to the subdivision of Jammu and Kashmir as Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Muzaffarabad - the latter two considered as âillegally occupiedâ by Pakistan, according to the Indian government. 

Despite the jokes, it seems like Pakistanâs education system does indeed have a lot to answer for - especially on the higher education front. According to global education publication WENR: 

"In comparison with academic institutions in other Asian countries, Pakistani universities are not very well-represented in standard international university rankings. While there are six Indian institutions included among the top 500 in the current 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, for instance, Quaid-i-Azam University is the only Pakistani institution featured in this group (at position 401â500). Six Pakistani institutions are among the top 1,000, with COMSATS the highest ranked (601â800)."

Seems like political messages are important even to climate scientists, but when it comes to the Indo-Pak border - perhaps they ought to stick to their books instead?
