Monday was the hottest day of this summer in city
Bhopal: Monday was not only the hottest day of this summer season but also the second hottest day of June in the city in the past six years.
A maximum temperature of 43.4 degree Celsius was recorded in the city on Monday, which was nearly two degrees more than the maximum temperature of 41.6 degrees recorded a day before on Sunday.
Considering the maximum temperatures recorded in June in the city during the past six years, Monday was the second time in the past five years that the maximum temperature in June crossed 43 degrees. In 2020, the maximum temperature recorded in June was 40.6 degrees. In 2021, it was 40 degrees. It was only in 2022 that the maximum temperature recorded in the city was 43.8 degrees in June. In 2023, a maximum temperature of 41.4 degrees was recorded in June.
In 2024, the maximum temperature recorded in June in Bhopal was 42.5 degrees. Thus, in the past six years, Monday was the second hottest day of June in the city.
On Monday, met officials said that the sky is likely to remain clear, and maximum and minimum temperatures in the city could be between 43 and 27 degrees.
Met officials also issued a 'yellow alert' for a heat wave at isolated places across 11 districts of the state on Monday.

Capital On Boil As Feel-Like Temperature Touches 49°C
New Delhi: The national capital sweltered as unbearably hot and humid weather gripped the region on Monday, with the city witnessing the hottest day this summer and parts of it recording a heatwave. While the peak temperature reached 45.5 degrees Celsius at IGNOU and 45.3 degrees at Ayanagar, Delhi's heat index, or the "feels-like" temperature due to the humidity, was 49 degrees Celsius. At the base weather station Safdarjung, the maximum temperature was 43.4 degrees Celsius, three notches above normal. On May 16, the maximum temperature reached 42.3 degrees Celsius, now the second highest this summer. Among other hot areas, Ridge recorded 44.9 degrees Celsius, Palam 44.3, Lodhi Road 43.3 and Najafgarh 42.4. The Met department has forecast a heatwave warning until Wednesday, expecting the maximum temperature to be 43-45 degrees Celsius. Hot and dry westerly dust-raising winds will spike the discomfort. The humidity on Monday oscillated between 25% and 70%. "With Hisar, Sirsa, Rohtak and Ayanagar reporting more than 44.9 degrees Celsius, heatwave conditions were realised over Haryana-Chandigarh-Delhi for the second day," said Krishna Mishra, weather scientist at India Meteorological Department. Despite the region receiving arid winds from the west, moisture lingered, thus worsening the heat index. The Met has issued an orange alert for a heatwave on Tuesday and Wednesday as well. However, it also expects a quick respite later this week with the possibility of rain, making it a week of severe fluctuations in weather patterns. A large area of northwest India continued to sizzle, including Haryana, western and eastern Punjab, with mercury touching 46 degrees Celsius in areas like Ludhiana. Parts of J&K also witnessed a heatwave for the past two days. Issuing a yellow alert, IMD said Thursday would see hot and humid conditions. Light rain and thundershowers are likely, with temperatures hovering around 42-44 degrees Celsius. However, proper respite is expected from June 13. "Between June 4 and 9, the city saw an 11-degree rise in temperature," said Mishra. A fall in temperature is expected from June 13 due to moisture-laden winds coming from the southwest from Arabian Sea and southeast winds from Bay of Bengal. The sudden rise in temperature poses risks, especially for Delhi. "As per a recent CEEW study on the heat risk index, the north Indian region showed an increase in relative humidity (about 6-9%) in the past decade... When heat and humidity are combined, the felt heat can be, on average, 3-5 degrees more than dry heat. This puts Delhi in the list of the top 10 districts facing high and very high heat risk in India," said Vishwas Chitale, senior programme lead at CEEW. Meanwhile, the city's air quality deteriorated due to a spike in coarser particles. The average air quality index on Monday was 235 (poor) against 198 (moderate) a day earlier. PM10 and Ozone were the day's lead pollutants.

Power cuts & voltage fluctuations add to woes in Noida and Ghaziabad
Noida: Several sectors of Noida and Ghaziabad have been grappling with unannounced power outages lasting 1–2 hours, frequent tripping, and severe voltage fluctuations over the past few weeks. The disruptions have been largely attributed to overloading of transformers and overheating of equipment, as electricity demand surged due to widespread use of air-conditioners and coolers. These power cuts have added to the discomfort of residents already struggling with soaring daytime temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius. The weather has been further intensified by high humidity levels and warm nights, with minimum temperatures not dropping below 28 degrees Celsius, making both cities swelter under sustained heat stress. In Noida, disruptions were reported from sectors 30, 25, 122, 105, and 78, etc . In Ghaziabad, Lal Kuan, Nandgram, Mansarovar Park, Shankar Vihar, Channi Vihar, and parts of Indirapuram, Vaishali, and Vasundhara were among the worst affected. In Khoda, Ghaziabad residents faced a six-hour blackout on Sunday, followed by intermittent tripping on Monday that continued in over half a dozen colonies in the Lal Kuan area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo Residents of Mansarovar Park, Shankar Vihar, and Channi Vihar claimed they were facing daily power cuts of 1-2 hours during the day. Areas like Pratap Vihar and Shivpuri also reported outages. Despite mounting complaints, officials claimed the supply was largely stable. Anil Kumar Singh, superintending engineer of Ghaziabad Zone 1, said there was "no problem in power supply except in a few places." He added that faults were being rectified promptly upon receiving information. In Noida, residents complained of worsening conditions. Parmod Verma, RWA president of Sector 30, alleged that there was a four-hour power cut from 11pm on Sunday till 3am on Monday. "When we complain or call the lineman, he doesn't bother to pick up the call. This is the height of irresponsibility," Verma said. Ranjan Samantaray, a resident of Antriksh Golf View 2 in Sector 78, said frequent voltage fluctuations had impacted the regular Ganga water supply to group housing societies. Cdr (Retd) N Mahajan from Jalvayu Vihar in Sector 25 said claims of improved infrastructure were not visible on the ground. However, Noida Power Department chief engineer Sanjay Kumar Jain denied any major disruption in urban areas. "The supply in Noida's urban areas is normal. Only two locations faced issues due to transformer maintenance," he told TOI, adding that RWAs were kept in the loop for planned rostering during infrastructure upgrades.
