Chandigarh: The city recorded its third warmest June night since 1969, as the minimum temperature remained unusually high. However, in a respite to residents, the maximum temperature on Sunday dropped by five degrees, offering some relief from the recent heatwave.
Notably, not just in June, it is the third highest ever minimum temperature of all months since 1969.
According to the weather department, the highest minimum temperature in Chandigarh was 33.6 degrees Celsius on June 6, 2017, and the second highest was 32.8 degrees on June 14, 2018, since 1969. On Saturday, the minimum temperature recorded was 32.7 degrees, which is the third highest. Before this, 32.7 degrees was recorded on Thursday as well.
It is also this season's warmest night.
However, there is relief in sight in the coming days. The minimum is expected to fall to 27 degrees by June 20. The maximum temperature dropped from 42.2 degrees on Saturday to 37.7 degrees on Sunday. It is still one degree above normal, while the minimum temperature of 32.7 degrees is up from 28.6 degrees on Saturday, which is six degrees above normal.
Looking ahead, it is expected to provide more pleasant daytime temperatures. The maximum temperature is likely to fall to 34 degrees by June 20. This is due to the forecast of rainy weather. According to the forecast, a partly cloudy sky with light rain is expected on Monday and Tuesday. Barring June 18, there is a light rain forecast on Thursday and Friday too.
Meanwhile, drizzling was witnessed during the day, making it cooler.

LG Chem, Noritake develop heat-resistant chip adhesive for EVs
LG Chem, a leading chemical company under LG Group, said Monday that it jointly developed a silver paste with Japan's Noritake for use in silicon carbide automotive power semiconductors, specifically for bonding chips to substrates. Noritake, an expert in precision ceramics, supplies materials and equipment to the semiconductor and automotive sectors. Demand for semiconductors capable of handling high voltages and currents is growing with the rise of electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies. Traditional soldering methods struggle with the high operating temperatures — up to 300 degrees Celsius — associated with these components. The newly developed silver paste incorporates silver nanoparticles and combines LG Chem's formulation and particle design technology with Noritake's dispersion expertise. It is designed to deliver both high heat resistance and effective thermal conductivity. A notable feature of the product is its extended shelf life. It can be stored at room temperature for up to six months, eliminating the need for refrigeration and improving logistics and on-site usability. The two companies plan to continue their partnership to advance adhesive materials for future semiconductor applications. The market for silver paste in automotive power semiconductors is expected to grow to 850 billion won ($623.3 million) by 2030. 'LG Chem has provided customer-tailored solutions across various fields, including automotive electronic components, based on its long-standing technological expertise and material design capabilities,' LG Chem Vice Chairman Shin Hak-cheol stated. 'Through this partnership, we will secure a differentiated competitive edge in the global automotive adhesive market.'
