The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heatwave warnings for Delhi and surrounding areas, forecasting temperatures to rise above 45°C. On Monday, Delhi’s Ayanagar recorded 45.3°C, while Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan saw a scorching 47.3°C. Similar extreme heat is affecting Haryana and Punjab, with Sirsa at 46.4°C and Samrala at 46.1°C. The IMD expects continued heatwave conditions in northwest India over the next four days. Hot and humid weather is also impacting parts of Bihar, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Gangetic West Bengal. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall is predicted for Assam, Meghalaya, and coastal Karnataka, providing a stark contrast to the north’s dry heat. Nighttime temperatures remain high in Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana, offering little relief.
