The mercury plummeted by 2 to 4 degrees when heatwaves passed across numerous regions of the country on Tuesday, providing a little break from the hot weather. Several locations around the country have recorded all-time high temperatures for April, with temperatures reaching 46-47 degrees Celsius as a result of the scorching heat.
Over areas of Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, and Haryana, the maximum temperature fell. This week, the Meteorological Department has ruled out the prospect of extreme heat in any portion of Northwest, Central, or East India. Northwest and central India witnessed the hottest April in 122 years due to a lack of precipitation caused by weak western storms.
From Friday onwards, the maximum temperature in several parts of Maharashtra and Rajasthan may rise again, according to the IMD. After 5 days, the heatwave will return to the two states.
For the next two days, isolated locations in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan are highly likely to see light rain, dust storms, and winds of up to 50 kmph due to the Western Disturbance.
A low pressure region is expected to emerge over the South Andaman Sea by the end of this week, according to the Meteorological Department. “A cyclone could form in the South Andaman Sea and its surrounding areas.” A low pressure area could emerge over the region around May 6 as a result of its effect, according to the weather service.
Temperatures in Delhi are expected to linger around 40 degrees Celsius for the next few days, according to the Meteorological Department. “A heat wave is not forecast in the city for at least two to three days,” an IMD official told PTI. On Wednesday, the minimum temperature in Delhi is likely to be about 25-27 degrees.
