A Break from the Heat Wave
Relief for the National Capital Region and Northwest India as Heavy Rain and Dusty Winds Approach
The scorching heatwave that has been tormenting the National Capital Region and other parts of northwest India is set to subside in the coming days. The Meteorological Department predicts a change in weather patterns, with the arrival of strong dusty winds across the entire region, including Delhi. This shift will be accompanied by light showers in certain areas. Additionally, some states may experience heavy rainfall, offering a much-needed respite from the sweltering conditions.
Current Weather Conditions
Delhi’s Temperature Soars to 41.3°C while the Minimum Stands at 25.2°C
On Monday, the maximum temperature in Delhi reached a scorching 41.3 degrees Celsius, leaving residents longing for relief. Meanwhile, the minimum temperature settled at a relatively cooler 25.2 degrees Celsius. The Meteorological Department attributes these soaring temperatures to cyclonic winds over Rajasthan, which are expected to prevail from May 16 to May 18. As a result, the entire northwest region, encompassing Rajasthan and Delhi, will experience dusty winds that may cause reduced visibility.
