Delhi Weather Updates: Capital To Brace For Hot Week As IMD Says Rains Unlikely Soon
Last Updated: The IMD said a rise in maximum temperatures by 4-5 degrees Celsius is likely during the next five days in Delhi, with slim chances of rainfall. Delhi Weather Updates: Delhi and other parts of northwest India are bracing for the summer heat ahead as monsoon rains are unlikely for the next week, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). According to the weather agency, a rise in maximum temperatures is likely by 4-5 degrees Celsius during the next five days in Delhi. The national capital can see up to 42-44 degrees on June 10 and 11, after which it will come down to 40-42 degrees on June 13 and 14. A mainly clear sky will be seen on June 8, 9 and 10, after which a partly cloudy sky is likely over Delhi from June 11-14. IMD forecasts show rainfall activity in the region beginning only after a week, bringing respite from the intense spell of heat. Delhi almost touched a maximum temperature of nearly 40 degrees on Saturday and a minimum temperature of 27.6 degrees, with a maximum humidity of 70%. It is likely to touch 42 degrees on Sunday, although it will not see a heat wave condition. Temperatures crossed 40 degree-mark in Safdurjung, Palam, Lodhi Road, Ridge area and Ayanagar, the latter recording the highest temperature at 42.1 degrees Celsius. The temperatures are likely to touch 44 degrees Celsius by Tuesday (June 10), making it the hottest week this season. The highest temperatures recorded in the national capital so far is 42.3 degrees on May 16. This is expected to be among the final bouts of extreme heat before the monsoon advances further across other regions of India. Most parts of the country have seen an unusually cooler monsoon, with parts of Noida, Greater Noida, New Delhi and other parts of the NCR region witnessing frequent dust storms and bouts of rainfall. Generally, the monsoon covers a major part of India by June-end and the entire country by July 8. Meanwhile, air quality in Delhi declined to the 'poor" category with an AQI of 209, leading the Commission for Air Quality Management in the NCR to promptly enforce Stage 1 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) as a preventive measure against rising pollution levels. Meanwhile, an intense heatwave has intensified its grip over Rajasthan as the maximum temperature in several places was recorded above the 40-degree mark on Saturday, the Jaipur Meteorological Centre said.
