Tired of too many ads? go ad free now On Thursday, the city saw the warmest day of the season with a heat index of 54.4 degrees Celsius. However, a change in the weather pattern led to the development of a trough line that infused moisture into the region, leading to thunder activity in a large part of north-west India and a fall in temperatures. The weather scientists explained that there was also an active western disturbance, which would increase the possibility of prolonged thunder activity in the region, including parts of Delhi. The winds also turned easterly from the earlier warm westerly in the entire north Rajasthan, including Jaipur, Delhi and in Punjab, including Amritsar and Ludhiana, which facilitated moisture influx from the Bay of Bengal to northwest India. "We are not expecting any escalation in temperature or the possibility of a heatwave," said Krishna Mishra, scientist, India Meteorological Department. "The easterly winds will maintain moisture feed and thunderstorm activity is expected for the next five days. The western disturbance is also expected to persist. So there can be thunder activities like those that occurred in May."
