Current Weather Conditions in Delhi

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that Delhi is experiencing a relentless heatwave, with temperatures reaching a staggering 43.8°C on Tuesday. Forecasts indicate that maximum temperatures could rise between 44-46°C today. An orange alert has been issued for the national capital and surrounding NCR areas, with similar conditions affecting regions in West and East Rajasthan.

Unfortunately, residents of East and West Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Northern Madhya Pradesh should not expect any immediate relief from the oppressive heat. The IMD has also warned of persistently hot and humid weather in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, Gangetic West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. While extreme temperatures are anticipated in these areas over the next few days, some states may find respite through impending rainfall.
